Indeed, Dorpat had paid taxes (or tribute) between 1464 and 1474, and in principle the Bishop and his subjects were willing to resume payment on the disputed borderlands only, in return for an extension of the truce that expired in 1553.

Ivan insisted that the German episcopal seat of Dorpat was the ancient Russian fortress of Jurjew and that the payment for the use of the long-disputed fields lying between Dorpat and Pskov was in fact a tribute for each person in the diocese.
