When Mongol Khan Ulug-Mahmed raided into Russia, Prince Vasili II of Moscow marched out and attacked the Khan at Suzdal, where Vasili was defeated and captured. After being ransomed and released, he was overthrown and blinded by his cousin Shemiaka (to avenge the blinding of his brother Kosoi by Vasili after Skoriatino). Shemiaka was eventually poisoned and Vasili restored.
