Tokhtamysh burns Moscow
Two years after Kulikovo, the Horde's tribute returns
Khan Tokhtamysh suddenly appeared before Moscow while Dmitry Donskoy was raising troops in the north. The citizens held out for three days, using firearms for the first time, but opened the gates on false promises, and the city was burned. Moscow resumed paying tribute.
