Famine and plague lasting two years in Novgorod the Great[1]

Text originalOriginal text

Въ си два лѣта [6929–6930] бысть глад и моръ великъ, и наметаша мертвых три скуделницѣ : одину въ святѣи Софѣи за олтарем, а двѣ у Рожества на полѣ

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

During these two years [6929–6930] there were great famine and plague, and three public graves were filled with the dead, one behind the altar in St. Sophia and two by the Nativity in the field

  1. These events probably took place after Monday, September 1, 6629, so it will be the year 1421 and next
