  • Beginning of the year: Akhmat Khan , ruler of the Golden Horde , forms an alliance with Casimir IV. Andrew , King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from the Jagiellonian dynasty . The aim of the alliance is a joint attack on the Grand Duchy of Moscow . When there were disputes between the Moscow Grand Duke Ivan III. and his brothers come, Akhmat Khan decides to act. He explores the area around the Oka River , a tributary of the Ugra , as a possible battlefield.
  • from October 8th : In a four-day battle, Muscovite troops prevent the Horde from crossing the Oka. Akhmat then decides to wait for the promised reinforcement by Kasimir, which does not come.
  • November 11th : After several weeks of standing on the Ugra , the horde, weakened by epidemics, finally withdraws due to the beginning of winter. This incident is hyped up by the Russian national historiography at the end of Mongolian rule over Russia and is seen as the starting point for the rise of the Russian Empire and the fall of the Empire of the Golden Horde.

  • Ferdinand II and Isabella I set up an inquisition court for the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon to track down and punish (forcibly) converted Jews (so-called Conversos or Marranos ) and Moors ( Moriscos ) who have publicly converted to Christianity, but Suspected of continuing to practice their previous religion in secret, making them by definition heretics . The Spanish Inquisition is almost entirely in the hands of the monarchs. The Roman Curia has only a very limited influence on its course. Pope Sixtus IV , who has to approve the establishment, initially has reservations about it. However, when Spain took Naples, he gave in and hired two Dominicans as inquisitors, who were to be followed by others.
