About the book: 1998 / Never before has a foreign prince, not from the Rurikovichs, sat down to rule in Pskov. But in the summer of 1266, the Pskovites did not find a worthy contender for Rus'. So they called in the disgraced Lithuanian prince Dovmont and his retinue. And they were not mistaken. Many times the military skill and skillful policies of the prince saved the city from enemies. Many invaders died on the Pskov borders before Dovmont taught them not to look for prey in these lands. The Lithuanian prince repaid his new homeland with many years of peace and prosperity in the northern region..
