	A Journey in Southern Siberia: Chapter I. The Birthplace of Mongol Activity
		In 1446 a new expedition to Yugria was made, but it failed; and this seems to have been the last expedition sent by Novgorod.
		This was done, as it seemed for the moment, since Kalpak and Tekich, princes of Yugria, were brought to Moscow, where Ivan Veliki confirmed their titles, and appointed a tribute which they were to pay for all Yugria.
		And years later three commanders, one of whom was Prince Kurbski, led five thousand men into northern Yugria and conquered it, capturing forty-one towns and taking, as prisoners, more than one thousand people, with fifty-eight princes or elders.
