1350

The king of Sweden attempted yet another fruitless attack to Novgorod. In the same year, the Black Death broke out in Northern Europe, effectively ending further hostilities

• Finland. The men of Novgorod went to war against the Germans, with Boris the son of the lieutenant, Ivan Fedorovich the Tysyatski, the Voyevodas Mikhali Danilovich, Yuri Ivanovich, and Yakov Khotov; and came to the town of Viborg on Monday the 2ist day of March, and burned the whole of the town. On the next day the Germans came out of the town and the men of Novgorod fell on them, and the Germans fled into the town, and there they killed several Germans, and ravaged and burned the district near the town and killed many Germans, both women and children, and took others alive; and they returned to Novgorod all well.

• Estonia. The same year the men of Novgorod went to Yurev (Tartu), and made an exchange with the Germans of the Swedish captives taken at Orekhov for Avraam and Kuzma, Alexander and Andrei and the company who had been over sea in the Swedish King Magnush's country. And they returned all well to Novgorod by the mercy of God, and by the power of the honourable Cross in which they trusted they reached Novgorod on the 9th day of June, the day of the Holy Martyr Alexander.

• The same year the men of Novgorod drove Posadnik Fedor out of Novgorod, together with his brother Mikhail, and Yuri and Ondreyan; their houses they pillaged, and they plundered the whole of Prussian Street. And Fedor, Mikhail, Yuri and Ondreyan fled to Pskov, and after being there a short while they went to Koporya.
