Fishburn and Hughes: "Also Ryurik, Rorik or Hrorikr: a semi-legendary ninth-century Varangian Viking prince, supposedly the founder of the Rurik dynasty which ruled Russia up to 1598. Rurik is thought to have come from Scandinavia at the invitation of the people of Novgorod to settle their internal wars." (170)
