Ivan Kalita receives the Russian tribute patent
1328
Moscow's prince Ivan I, called the Moneybag, accepted the grand princely title from Uzbeg Khan along with the sovereign right to collect Mongol tribute from all Russian lands. He skimmed judiciously, enriching Moscow while appearing loyal to the Horde. Moscow's treasury swelled and its political stature grew steadily beneath the still-intact Horde overlordship.
