is embassy [document addressed] to His Royal Majesty has been sent in the

letter by Andrej Mackevyč,

Apparently it should read нашых.

It should rather read писано въ.

Andrej Mackevyč, a scribe (Ruth. d’jak) and member of the embassy to Moscow

in 1529, was sent in 1532 initially to Sa‘adet Giray. Yet, hearing about the latter’s

abdication and departure to Istanbul, he returned from Kiev to Vilnius. In his letter

sent from Cracow, King Sigismund ordered Olbracht Gasztołd, the Lithuanian chan-

cellor and palatine of Vilnius (cf. Document 17, n. 21), to send Mackevyč again to

the new khan, Islam Giray. e envoy was instructed to bring gis to the new khan,

remind him of the previous royal support against his uncle, and propose an exchange

of new treaty documents; see Lietuvos Metrika. Knyga Nr. 15 (1528–1538). Užrašymų

document 24 (october–november 1532) 685

Vilnius,

has sent a copy of the same embassy [document] in his letter, which

is entered above in the present books.

I commence in Your holy name, oh God, who gives and grants felicity to those

who truly keep brotherhood and fulll their word without any fraud and with

an honest heart!

e word of my grandfather, Mengli Giray Khan, and the word of my father,

Mehmed Giray Khan, [also] the word of [mine,] Bahadır Sultan, [and] the

word of my brother, Alp Giray Sultan:

To the commanders of tens of thousands [tümens], thousands, hundreds, [and

tens]

of the great people [ulus] of the right and the le hand, the ulans and

beys [Ruth. knjazem], and likewise to the Ruthenian princes and lords, castles,

towns, and estates, metropolitans, [Orthodox] bishops, monks and laymen,

boyars and townsmen, and all the commoners, thus you should know:

We make known with our present letter that in the ancient times our ances-

tors, the khans, and also our khan, Mehmed Giray Khan, when their horses

were growing sweaty [beneath them], then they would come seeking hospital-

ity [i.e., refuge] to Grand Duke Vytautas, and to the king and grand duke

Casimir,

in the Lithuanian state, and they experienced great reverence; and

according to the ancient custom they wrote down [and granted to them] the

Ruthenian lands along with towns, settlements, estates, tümens, lands, waters,

levies, and incomes, not diminishing anything, having inspected the ancient

yarlıqs that had been written and given by our ancestors, the khans. ereaer,

when by the grace of God we ascended our throne, having inspected the ancient

oath-letters of our ancestors, we also gave our letter, such as the letter that our

father, Mengli Giray Khan had given to Casimir, the king and grand duke.

And as since those times we have remained in brotherhood and friendship with

the king and grand duke Sigismund, while renewing the ancient engagements

we have given our letter, [composed] in the same words and [provided] with a

I.e., Olbracht Gasztołd; Mackevyč must have sent two parallel reports from his

concluded mission: one to Vilnius and another to Cracow; the king thus obtained a

direct report from his envoy and a report from Gasztołd, who had been previously

empowered to send Mackevyč to the Crimea during the king’s absence from Vilnius;

cf. n. 2 above.

is additional copy of the present document, reportedly recorded in the Lithu-

anian Register, has not been found; apparently it was le out when the original books

(now lost) of the Register were copied in the late 16th century.

e text is obviously anachronous; cf. n. 1 above; on Bahadır Giray and Alp Giray,

see Document 17, notes 11–12.

Apparently omitted by error; cf. Document 18.

On the old Ruthenian term belec, see Document 1, n. 2; in the document from

1517 this term is erroneously rendered as belyholovym (cf. Document 18, n. 5), but

here it is written correctly again.

Cf. n. b above.

golden seal, to our brother Sigismund, the king and grand duke, his children,

and his descendants, letting [them] hold in peace:

– Kiev with its tümen along with lands, waters, levies, and incomes;

– Great Luc’k with its tümen along with lands, waters, levies, and incomes;

– Smolensk with its tümen along with lands, waters, levies, and incomes;

– Polack and Vicebsk with tümen

along with lands, waters, levies, and

incomes;

– Podolia with its tümen along with lands and waters;

– Braclav with its tümen along with incomes;

– Sokolec’

with its tümen along with lands, incomes, and waters;

– Zvynyhorod

along with lands, waters, levies, and incomes;

– Kačybej and Majak along with lands and waters;

– also starting from Kiev along with the Dnieper to its mouth;

– Sneporod and Hlyns’k along with [their] people;

– Žolvaž

and Putyvl’ along with lands and waters;

– Sinec, Xoten’, Losyčy, Xotmyšl, and Nycjany along with lands, waters, levies,

and incomes;

– Kursk with its tümen;

– along with the tümen of Jagoldaj, son of Saraj;

– Radogošč’ and Myloljub along with all lands, waters, levies, and incomes;

– Mužeč, Starodub, Oskol, and Brjansk along with lands, waters, levies, and

incomes;

– Mcensk, Ljubutsk, and the town of Tula along with lands, waters, levies,

and incomes;

– Berestej, Retan’, Kozel’sk, Pronsk, Volkonsk, Spažsk, and Donec along with

all lands, incomes, levies, and waters;

It is not clear whether the author regarded Polack and Vicebsk as one or two

separate tümens.

Cf. Document 8, n. 4.

Cf. Document 8, n. 5.

On Kačybej and Majak, cf. Document 8, notes 6–7.

On Sneporod and Hlyns’k, cf. Document 8, notes 8–9.

Cf. Document 8, n. 10.

On these estates in the region of Putyvl’ and on the rivers Sula and Vorskla, cf.

Document 8, notes 12–16.

On this estate, extending between the upper Sejm and the upper Donec rivers,

and its former owner, see Document 8, n. 18.

Myloljub, Mužeč and Oskol belonged to the tümen of Jagoldaj (cf. Document 8,

notes 18–19) while the town of Radogošč’ was situated further to the northwest. As

the latter did not gure in the earlier yarlıqs and was registered for the rst time in

1513–1514 (see Documents 12 and 14), apparently by error the scribe entered its name

in the wrong place, i.e., between the tümen of Jagoldaj and Myloljub. Also Starodub

is entered here erroneously between Mužeč and Oskol while in the earlier documents

it is listed as a separate entry along with Brjansk.

On Mcensk, Ljubutsk, and Tula, see Document 8, notes 20–21.

On these localities and estates, see Document 8, notes 22–26.

– the castle of Dašov, Balykly, Karaul,

Čornyj Horod,

the ruined castle

[Ruth. horodyščo] of Uteškov,

Tušyn, Nemyrov, Uhrom with its tümen,

and an island referred to as Fedorov

along with all lands, waters, levies,

and incomes;

– Pskov, Velikij Novgorod, and Perejaslavl’ Rjazan’skij along with their people

and tümens, with forests, incomes, and [everything] that ows or streams—

we gave it [i.e., all the above localities] to the Lithuanian state.

And we have taken counsel in this matter along with our sons, the [other]

sultans [i.e., princes], ulans, beys, and mirzas, and rmly sworn unanimously

that we should remain for centuries in loyal friendship and brotherhood with

the king and grand duke Sigismund, until [the times of] his grandchildren and

our grandchildren as well; we should be friends of his friend and enemies of his

enemy, and we should jointly face any of his enemies.

And whichever towns, estates, lands, and waters the Muscovian [duke] cap-

tured in the times of his brother, the king and grand duke Alexander, when

God helps us to [re]take from his power these towns, estates, lands, and waters,

I, Mehmed Giray Khan, with my son Bahadır Sultan, and with Alp Sultan,

should take them—with God’s help—from the Muscovian hands and restore to

the hands of the king and grand duke Sigismund; and I, Mehmed Giray Khan,

along with my children, people, and troops, should assist the king and grand

duke Sigismund against his Muscovian enemy, at present and always. Also, [if]

he sends [an envoy] to us asking for troops [against] other enemies, then we

should give in assistance as many [troops] as they need.

And as regards the harm committed during [the reigns of] your father Casi-

mir, the king and grand duke, your brother [John] Albert, and Alexander, and

yours, towards your state and fatherland, Poland and the Grand Duchy of

Lithuania, by myself, Mehmed Giray Khan, my children, the ulans, beys, and

[my] servants, however great damages they were causing to your state, you,

my brother, [should] forgive them and release this harm from your heart. And

whatever harm we, our children, and our men have experienced from you dur-

ing [the reigns of] your father, King Casimir, your brother [John] Albert, and

Alexander, and you, King Sigismund, we do [not] want to remember it and we

want to release it from our heart.

On these three settlements, situated on the lower Boh and lower Dniester, see

Document 8, notes 31, 28, and 29. Dašov was in fact the ancient name of Očakiv (Tat.

Djankerman; Tur. Özü qal‘esi).

On the location of Čornyj Horod, see Document 8, n. 30.

On the entry Uteškov, cf. Document 12, n. 22.

e tümen of Uhrom, which could not be localized, appears in Documents 14

and 20 (in the latter corrupt as “the tümen of Turov”); in Document 18 it was prob-

ably omitted by error.

For Fedorov, cf. n. f above and Document 14.

e last three settlements, Tušyn, Nemyrov (alias Nemyr), and Fedorov (alias

Xodorov or Fedorkovo), as well as the tümen of Uhrom, could not be identied, but

they were apparently situated in lower Podolia, between the Boh and Dniester rivers;

cf. Document 8, n. 32, Document 12, n. 23, and Document 14.

is fragment originally regarded merely the casualties experienced by the Tatars

during their raids against Poland-Lithuania (see Document 18, notes e–f and 26).

688 document 24 (october–november 1532)

Formerly, for the sake of kind brotherhood and loyal friendship, we had sent

our son, Djalaleddin Sultan,

to reside with you, our brother King Sigismund,

the grand duke; however, God’s will descended upon him, God took him from

this world. And in his place we want to give another sultan [i.e., prince], our

grandson, to reside with our brother Sigismund, [the king] and grand duke. On

hearing this, [our enemies] will tremble with fear, and [our] friends rejoice.

And in desire to reciprocate the tting gis of my brother, King Sigismund,

with my friendship, I, Mehmed Giray Khan, have allowed the merchants from

the Lithuanian state to take salt in Kačybej without any anxiety, and, hav-

ing paid the toll, bring it to Kiev, Great Luc’k, and other towns, guarded by

our men so that they do not experience any harm in Kačybej or in the eld

[i.e., steppe]

from our

cossacks

and others. And if the merchants suer any

harm, we want to compensate it to our brother. Also the other merchants from

the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania—either rich or poor—

may come with their merchandise to the Horde [i.e., the Crimean Khanate]

and to Caa, conduct their trade and depart [unmolested], having paid the toll

according to the ancient custom.

We want to fulll accordingly whatever is written above in our present letter,

and not depart from it. And we should send our children along with our great

troops against your Muscovian enemy, take away from his hands the towns,

estates, lands, and waters that were captured by the father of the Muscovian

[duke], and by himself, from he Lithuanian Duchy, and restore them to our

brother Sigismund, the king and grand duke; and we should face any enemy

jointly with him.

And if any of our subjects, or [the subjects] of my son Bahadır Sultan, or

Alp Sultan, set out to raid the land of our brother, the king, we should capture

them and send to the king, and we intend to conscate their houses and arrest

their wives. And if they escape themselves, we intend to send [you] their wives

and children instead.

And I, Mehmed Giray Khan, along with my son, Bahadır Sultan, and

another son, Alp Sultan, and my nephew, Hemmet Sultan,

all the sultans

[i.e., princes], ulans, [beys,]

and mirzas, have rmly sworn to our brother, the

king and grand duke Sigismund, before his envoy, and given him our present

letter under the golden nişan and under the red tamġa.

And I, Bahadır Sultan, have sworn with the soul of my father, the khan, and

with my soul, and with the soul of my brother, Alp.

On Djalaleddin Sultan and his death in Vilnius, see Document 12, n. 25.

e Ruthenian term pole (“eld”) or dykyja polja (“wild elds;” cf. Pol. dzikie

pola) referred to the barely inhabited steppe area extending to the north from the

Black Sea.

See n. l above.

e Turkic word kazak (hence the later Slavic kozak, i.e., “cossack”) applied to

free vagabonds; cf. Chapter 6 in Part II.

Erroneously rendered as Smet Sultan but correctly identied as the nephew (lit.

the brother’s son) of Mehmed Giray; on Hemmet Giray, see Document 18, n. 32.

Apparently omitted by error; cf. Document 18.

e audience of Devey Mirza is mentioned in Sigismund’s letter to the khan,

dated 10 January 1535, hence it probably took place on that date or shortly before; see

Lietuvos Metrika. Knyga Nr. 15, p. 247. Devey Mirza, son of Hasan, was a prominent

member of the Manghıt (Mansur) clan, consisting of the Nogays who immigrated to

the Crimea in the early 16th century. His grandfather, Timur, was the beglerbeg in the

Great Horde and the father of Tevkel Bey (see Document 9, n. 14) as well as Mengli

Giray’s wife Nur Sultan. His older brother Baki, the ambitious Manghıt leader, played

a leading role in the Crimean politics in the early years of Sahib Giray’s reign. In 1537,

aer Islam Giray again rebelled against his uncle, Baki along with Devey chased and

killed the pretender. In 1539, the relations between the khan and Baki deteriorated

and Baki’s two brothers, Devey and Ak Bibi, spent almost one year in prison. Aer a

temporary reconciliation, the failed Crimean campaign against Muscovy sealed Baki’s

fate and in 1541 he was executed along with Ak Bibi. Devey did not share his broth-

ers’ fate and in 1563 was appointed the qaraçı bey of the Manghıt clan. In the 1560s

he actively participated in the negotiations with Moscow, oen reminding the tsar’s

envoys about his hereditary rights to the pasturelands on the Volga. Taken prisoner

in the battle at Molodi (1572), he died in Muscovian captivity aer 1576; see Tarih-i

tained in the oath-letter [ lyst prysjažnyj] that will be brought from my lord to

His Royal Majesty by the great envoy of His Majesty, Pan Vasyl’ Tyškevyč.

And in all aspects my lord, the free khan, should wish well and be friendly

towards His Royal Majesty, and should have no [bad]

intentions against His

Majesty, the hospodar, the great king Sigismund, and the two states of His

Majesty: the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. And he should

restrain his sons and his men and not let them commit any damage to the two

states of His Majesty. And he should be a friend of His Royal Majesty’s friend,

and an enemy of his enemy.

And if my lord fullls this, may God assist him; and if he does not fulll it,

may God deny him assistance, and may he be separated from the divine grace

and from the law of our prophet Muhammad, and from all our above written

prophets, and may he be like a false-hearted heathen, and may none of his sons

and descendants reign in the kingdom in which he reigns, but—as God is true

and just—may He remove them from the ancestral throne, and may God make

their enemies rule on that throne forever.

Радами нашими длѧ твердеишое речы, абы сѧ прыꙗзьнь межы нами

множыла и на долгии часы трывала, братꙋ нашому Сагапъ Кирею

царю и Ѡсламъ Киреи солтану правдꙋ наш<ом>у даемъ, и прысега-

емъ на томъ, штожъ мы, Жыкгимонтъ, корол польскии, великии кнѧзь

литовъскии, и сынъ нашъ, з божъее ласки король полскии, великии

кнѧзь литовскии, вторыи его милость Жыкгимонтъ Авъгустъ, маемъ

таномъ правдиве ꙋ братстве къ

прыꙗзни быти на веки, и нашымъ

детемъ и прадетемъ, и ихъ детемъ и прадетемъ, а их прыꙗтелю

прыꙗтелемъ быти, а непрыѧтелю непрыꙗтелемъ, во въсѧком месте и

на кожъдого неприꙗтелѧ их с ними с одного стоꙗти.

А которыи городы и волости, и земъли, и воды непрыѧтел нашъ

московъскии ꙋ вотца нашого Казимира и брата Ѡлекъсанъдра, вели-

ких королеи, и в нас через прысѧгу свою несправедливе къ своеи рꙋце

побрал, ино царъ Сагап Киреи з братомъ своимъ Ѡсламъ Киреи сол-

таномъ, ѡземъшы Бога на помоч, тыи вси городы и волости, и земли,

и воды маютъ в того непрыѧтелѧ нашого московъского засѧ побрати

и намъ то все поѡтдавати. И тежъ на того непрыꙗтелѧ нашого мос-

ковъского, и на иныхъ всих нашых непрыꙗтелеи братъ нашъ, Сагапъ

Киреи царъ, и Ѡсламъ Киреи солтанъ, со въсею своею братьею, и з

детми, кнѧзи, вланы, и мꙋрзы маетъ намъ помагати ныне и напотомъ,

завъжъды ничымъ с прысѧги и докончаньѧ своего не выступꙋючы.

А которыи злыи вчынъки были за ѡтъца нашого, королѧ Кази-

мира и великого кнꙗзѧ, и за брати нашое, Ѡлбрахта королѧ и

Ѡлекъсанъдра, и за насъ панству нашому Корꙋне Полскои и ѡтчызне

брати и детеи его, и ѡтъ всих вланов, кнѧзеи, и слꙋгъ ихъ, которыи

шкоды в тотъ час тымъ ѡбоимъ паньствамъ сѧ нашымъ стали, мы то

все имъ ѡтпущаемъ, и тых злых ꙋчынъковъ их на мысли нашои не

хочемъ держати. А которыи злыи ꙋчынки ѡт людеи нашых за ѡтца

нашого Казимира и брата Ѡлекъсандра, королеи их милости, и за

нашо сщастное панованье тои Ѡрде Крымскои бꙋдꙋт сѧ стали, ино

брат нашъ Сагапъ Киреи царъ, и Ѡсламъ Киреи солътанъ того на

мысли своеи не мают держати, и тыи вси вчынки мают съ серца своего

выпустити, штожъ слышавшы непрыꙗтели бы нашы страшыли сѧ, а

прыꙗтели радовали сѧ.

К тому тежъ мают всѧкии купъцы нашы з Великого Кнѧзьства

выстерегаючысѧ, в Качыбиеве сол брати и, мыта подле давъного

ѡбычаѧ заплативъшы, до Киева и до Лꙋцъка, и до инъшыхъ горо-

дов нашых сол провадити за сторожою людеи цара Сагапъ Кирее-

вых. А естъли бы имъ ꙋ Качыбиеве котораѧ сѧ шкода стала, або
