The same autumn the Lithuanian Knyaz Skrigailo with an army of Germans invested Polotsk, and they suffered much hardship and sent to Novgorod praying for Christian aid: " You should help us "; but they received no help from Novgorod, they only sent an envoy, Yuri Ontsiforovich, to the Lithuanian Knyaz Yagailo. And God and St. Sophia protected their house; and they went away and did not take the town.
The same year there was a tumult in Lithuania, God inflicting on them His anger: they rose against each other, and killed the Veliki Knyaz Kestuti Gediminovich and his Boyars, but his son Vitovt escaped to the Germany. Much mischief was done to the Lithuanian country; for Kestuti had deprived Yagailo of the sovereignty.
