1316

The leutenants of Knyaz Mikhail left Novgorod, and Knyaz Mikhail went against Novgorod with the whole of the Low Country. And the men of Novgorod raised defences round the town on both sides, and the whole of the Novgorod district, the men of Pskov, of Ladoga, of Russa, the Korel, and Izhera, and Vod people came together.

• The same year before Knyaz Mikhail had reached the town they seized Ignat Besk and beat him at a Veche, and then threw him from the bridge into the Volkhov, for they thought he had held traitorous communication with Mikhail ; but God knows.

• At that same time Danilo Pistsev was murdered on the meadow land near Novgorod by his own slave; for he had calumniated him before the citizens, saying thus: " He tried to send me with letters to Knyaz Mikhail."
