Three Battles

The authors investigate major world legends, chronicles, and famous historical and literary works from the perspective of New Chronology. In the Great Horde Empire of the XIV–XVI centuries, three particularly large battles took place: the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380, the Ice Battle of the XV century, and the war with Kazan in 1552. These battles left a deep mark in Western European sources. During the Reformation, when a false Scaligerian history was being created, chronicle descriptions of these battles, recorded in the metropolis of the Empire, were transferred (on paper) to the split-off provinces of the Empire, where they were declared “purely local, our own” events and “dressed in local clothes.” For example, in Italian, French, and Spanish. The Ice Battle was described by “ancient” historians Polybius and Titus Livy as allegedly a “purely Italian event,” as a battle between Rome and Carthage. In well-known Old French tales—“The Coronation of Louis” and “The Tread of Nîmes” (Nîmes Cart)—attributed today to the Carolingian or Capetian era, in fact, the deeds of the Horde Tsars Vasily III, Ivan IV the Terrible, Prince Andrei Kurbsky, the capture of Kazan in 1552, and the Livonian War of the XVI century are celebrated. But again, it’s all “dressed in French and Italian clothes.”
