Years: 1345 - 1345
Jani Beg had commanded a massive Tatar force that attacked the Crimean port city of Kaffa in 1343.
The siege had been lifted by an Italian relief force in February.
In 1345, Jani Beg again besieges Kaffa; however, his assault is again unsuccessful due to an outbreak of the Black Plague among his troops.
