1253
The Lithuanians ravaged the district of Novgorod and went off with captives, and the men of Novgorod with Knyaz Vasili overtook them at Toropets; and so Christian blood was avenged on them. And they defeated them and took back the captives from them, and returned well to Novgorod.
The same year the Germans came to Pleskov and burned the town Posad, but the men of Pleskov killed many of them. And the men of Novgorod went out to them in arms from Novgorod, and they ran away; and the men of Novgorod having come to Novgorod, and having armed and prepared themselves, went beyond the Narova (Estonia, Narva) and laid waste their district ; and the Korel (Karelians) people also did much harm to their districts.
1253-1257 Novgorodians and Karelians attacked Alutaguse (East Estonia)
And the same year Germans went with the men of Pleskov to ravage them, and they put out a force against them; and the men of Novgorod with the men of Pleskov defeated Germans by the power of the honourable cross; for they began it against themselves, the accursed transgressors of right; and they sent to Pleskov and to Novgorod desiring peace on all the terms laid down by Novgorod and Pleskov. And so they made peace.
In the winter of the same year Knyaz Yaroslav Yaroslavich fled from out of the Low Country, and they set him in Pleskov.
