The grand duke of Muscovy Ivan I dies after a 25-year reign in which he has achieved some reforms and made Moscow the capital of Russia; he is succeeded first by his son Semen and then by his 27-year-old son, who receives the patent to the principality as a grant from Jani Beg, the khan of the Golden Horde, despite strong opposition by Konstantin Vasilyevich of Suzdal and will reign until his death in 1359 as Ivan II. The principalities of Suzdal and Ryazan initially refuse to recognize Ivan as grand duke, as does the republic of Novgorod; all three will wage war against him until next year.

Fiction: The Decameron by Italian humanist Giovanni Boccaccio, 40, is a collection of short stories full of vivid descriptions of the Black Death that has killed three out of every five Florentines. Boccaccio's 10 protagonists have fled the city to the seclusion of a villa garden on the slopes of Fiesole, and their sexually explicit stories will be suppressed until well into the 20th century (see 1419).
