The Svei (Swedes) having come put up a town in the Korel (Finland, Karelia) land.
The same year Knyaz Andrei with other Knyazes beat with their foreheads to the Tartar Tsar with complaints against Knyaz Dmitri, and the Tsar sent his brother Duden with a numerous army against Dmitri. Oh, great was the harm done to Christians ! they seized unoffending towns ; Volodimir, Moscow, Dmitrov, Volok, and other towns, they laid waste the whole land. And Dmitri escaped to Pskov.
The same Lent the Veliki Knyaz Andrei sent Knyaz Roman Glebovich with Yuri Mishinich and the Tysyatski Andreyan and a few men of Novgorod to the Sveiski Town ; they fought hard on Tuesday in the sixth week of Lent, and they shot the good man Ivan Klekachevich from the town, and many were wounded. The same night for our sins a thaw set in ; water covered all the land ; round the town was flooded, and there was no fodder for the horses. They retired, and came back all well, except for the wounded; and Ivan Klekachevich after being brought back, died of his wound.
