Mstislav of Kiev and the Kievan army …
Years: 1223 - 1223
June
Mstislav of Kiev and the Kievan army have managed to hold out for three days, but the prince decides to surrender to one of Jebe's allies, named Ploskanea, on the condition that he and his army will be able to return unharmed to Kiev.
Once in control of the camp, the Mongols slaughter the Kievan army and take Mstislav of Kiev and several other nobles prisoners.
The Mongols execute them in the traditional Mongol manner reserved for royalty and nobility; without shedding blood.
Mstislav and his nobles are buried and suffocated under the Mongol general's victory platform at the victory feast.
The battle has been a very costly defeat for the Rus' princes, given that many of the Rus principalities have lost much of their armies, with the notable exception of Vladimir-Suzdal, whose prince, Yuri II, had sent a small unit that arrived too late to take part in the disastrous battle.
