The same year there was a tumult amongst the Lithuanians, God sending down his wrath upon them; they rose themselves against themselves and the Veliki Knyaz Mindovg was killed by his own relatives, who conspired without anybody's knowledge. The same year the murderers of Mindovg having quarrelled over his goods they killed the good Knyaz Tovtivil of Polotsk, and put the Boyars of Polotsk in chains and called on the people of Polotsk to kill Tovtivil's son, too; and he escaped to Novgorod with his men. Then the Lithuanians set their own Knyaz in Polotsk; and let go the men of Polotsk whom they had taken with their Knyaz and took peace.
