Fleeing from defeat at the Terek by the Turko-Mongol Tamerlane, Toktamish (former Khan of the Golden Horde) gained support from Grand Duke Witold (Vytautus) of Lithuania, who invaded the Ukraine with a force of Lithuanians, Poles and Teutonic knights. At the Vorskla, a tributary of the Dnieper, Tamerlane’s General Edigu attacked and destroyed Witold’s army.
