Yury, solicitous to preclude a new attack…

1404 CE

Yury, solicitous to preclude a new attack on Smolensk, goes to Moscow to ask Vasily I for help against Vytautas (who is Yury’s brother-in- law and Vasily's father-in-law).

Yury promises to bequeath his possessions to Vasily, but the Muscovite ruler hesitates to accept this flattering proposal, until the boyars of Smolensk open the city gates to Vytautas and surrender Yury's capital to his old enemy in 1404.

thus lost to Russians for more than a century.
