The Bishop of Dorpat and the Order (according to the papal bull of 1237 including the remnants of the Order of the Swordsmen) was forced to conclude a world in which the Crusaders refused to capture the Russian lands.Īnother Russian principality, faced with the Order, was Galitsko-Volynskoe.
It ended in a crushing defeat of the knights. The decisive battle took place on Apon Lake Peipsi (probably near Lake Peipsi). In March, the combined army liberated Pskov. After that, he returned to Novgorod, where he spent the winter waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Vladimir. Alexander Nevsky arrived in Novgorod, after which, commanding the Novgorod troops, he freed Koporye. Then the knights invaded the Novgorod principality and built a fortress in Koporye. Two German vogts were planted in the city. The knights besieged Pskov himself and soon took it, taking advantage of treason among the besieged. An attempt by the Pskov militia to repel the fortress ended in failure. At the end of August 1240, Bishop Hermann Derptsky, gathering militia from his subjects and the remnants of the Knights of the Order of the Sword, with the support of the Danish knights from Reval, invaded Pskov and seized Izborsk. In 1239-1240, the threat of conflict between the German and Danish feudal lords in the Baltic with the Russian princes, arose.
