Tver becomes Moscow's rival
1319
Grand Prince Mikhail of Tver was summoned to the Horde by Uzbeg Khan, convicted of various offenses, and executed by Tatar guards who hacked him apart in his tent. His rival Yuri of Moscow secured the yarlyk, the khan's patent to collect Russian tribute. Moscow's ascent among the Russian principalities began with this Tatar favor and a rival's corpse.
