Vseslav pillages and burns Great Novgorod in …
Years: 1067 - 1067
January
Vseslav pillages and burns Great Novgorod in the winter of 1066–1067, removing the bell and other religious objects from the Cathedral of Holy Wisdom and bringing them to decorate his own cathedral of the same name in Polotsk.
His attack threatens to cut off the sons of Yaroslav in the Middle Dnieper region from Scandinavia, the Baltic region, and the far north, important sources of men, trade, and income (in furs for example) for the Rus princes in the Middle Dnieper.
The attack also forces the young Mstislav, then enthroned in Novgorod, to flee back to his father, Iziaslav, in Kiev, and is thus an affront to the Kievan grand prince.
