1393

The Veliki Knyaz Vasili Dmitrievich broke the peace with Veliki Novgorod about the charter which Great Novgorod had written, not to be summoned by the Metropohtan to Moscow, saying thus: " that you send the charter back to the Metropohtan, and as regards your having kissed [the Cross] the Metropohtan will absolve you from the sin." And Great Novgorod would not have that, and the Veliki Knyaz took from Novgorod the neighbouring town of Torzhok and its districts, Volok-Lamsk, and Vologda, and ravaged many districts. And the men of Novgorod took the town of Ustyug, Ustyuzhna, and many other districts from the Veliki Knyaz, and there was much bloodshed at that time on both sides.
