And from the days of the Trinity 1425 there began to be a plague in Moscow, and it came from the Germans to Pskov, and from there to Novgorod, and also went to Moscow and to Rusian land.
- ↑ Repeated information. The date of the plague's appearance is specified here. It happened after the days of St. Trinity. This movable feast in 1425 fell on May 27 (49 days after Easter). Interestingly, the information about the plague is preceded by the information about Alexander Ivanovich inheriting the Tver throne after the death of his father, Ivan Mikhailovich. The enthronement took place on May 21, which corresponds perfectly with the news about the beginning of the plague.
