In Mordovian Alatyr forests on the river is an ancient tract Knyazhiy log - Local him know. And is there much to the XIV century, a huge oak, which has long called Satanic. No wonder the so-called: a long, terrible and strange history with him. Tell him what is known from the chronicles, legends, historical works.
We do not go into the history of princely mezhduusobits in Russia in the XIV century distant, say the main thing. In the hard struggle label grand throne in Moscow was a young Dmitri, later lrozvische Donskoj, a neighborhood in the Nizhny Novgorod Suzdal Principality ruled by princes from the sort of Konstantinovitch, were three of them, but in our story appeared, only the average of the brothers - Dmitry.
Autumn at times in 1374 on the river came Alatyr team knyazhicha Ivan Dmitrievich, with Mordovian army. So far from Nizhniy Novgorod army did not previously visited. Mordovtsev part stoned, part of scattered, and in memory of the victory, as if saying: "there were Russian, knyazhich planted dubok.v the same place, which then called Knyazhiy tax. Since that time, and begins a long and rich history Satanic oak.
Whether Mordovian sorcerer plotting to death done in retaliation for the defeat, whether this was the fate of the Ivan Dmitrievich, but he became the first victim of Satanic oak. The case: in 1377 in Nizhny Novgorod moved Tatar horde Tsarevitch Arapsha, shedshy from the banks of Lika, and the Aral Sea. Prince Dmitry sent to meet him, a strong army led by his son Ivan. Russian team has set out on the river drunk and carelessly holding time: voivode received the news that Arapsha still daleche - where in the Donets region.
It was the July heat - armor were dumped on the carts are packed in a pack, weapons, too, was not prepared to fight. Knyazhich, voivode and boyars made hunting fun. However, soon began to receive alarming reports, but they do not pay attention. "Who can stand against us?" - Said Rusich and steel to go in a simple dress. In addition, the troops started indiscriminate drinking.
A Mordovian Knyazkov who knew in their lands, all the secret paths, hidden Tatars brought to становищу Russian guards. Second of August was caused by the sudden and crushing blow. Russian were not ready to resist, and fled in terror through the drunk. During the crossing knyazhich Ivan with a lot of the boyars and the simple warriors drowned, others were mercilessly perebity Tatars and allied mordovtsami.
And again, at which time, stormed Konnikov Mamayev hordes in Nizhny Novgorod land. Knew that there was no Prince Dmitry Konstantinovich of Nizhny, and without him nobody would have a proper response. Citizens boat, plane - for all that stood tied at marinas - scrambled to the other bank of the Volga, and from there watched the formic meltesheniem robbery, the brutal destruction and fire. Finally dispelled the smoke. Ordyntsev also as a wind sdulo.
Hoping that after the defeat of Nizhniy Novgorod principality o'stalos without protection, and Mordovians want to try their luck - sailed and began to loot all that was left after the Tatars, and then went vosvoyasi. But the Russian team overtook her at the drunk and brutally defeated. And to nepovadno was collected by the princes of the winter strong army, which entered the Mordovian land and made it blank, in the words of chronicler.
Oak is known to be inherently good tree - its people go to get silushkienergii. However, in seedlings knyazhicha Ivan, it is clear from the outset that something went wrong. More sapling, he has absorbed the energy of fear and pain pre-beaten mordovtsev, fierce joy of the winners. Perhaps it has changed its energy on the negative. As a living tree in the XV century, unaware, but it is well known what was happening under his shadow in the XVI.
Interest to its history researcher Andrew Nizovskaya writes: "Oak Knyazhiy tax was popular in the middle of the XVI century. Raskidistye and evaluate its strong branches, oak were used as the finished gallows. This is settled and in the era of the taking of Kazan (the Kazan Khanate in the conquest of 1552. -- Ed.), where the oak Knyazhiy tax, according to the two prisoners hanged Tatar "magicians" and oprichnye times and in times of turmoil, when suddenly in the branches of oak враз download body fifteen robbers ... hangdog bury the body immediately, in holes - the usual, nothing did not have the right to be buried in sanctified ground. "
And in the XVII Century oak used for the "razboynym cases. Do not forget about it and during the uprising of Stepan Razin (1670 1671): first, the rebels vzdergivali nobility, and then to know "decorate" his polonennoy golytboy.
We can say that the oak log from Knyazhiy not lucky: apart from death, he had nothing in its history, not seen. Under its roots rot remains raznoplemennyh hangdog, the branches swinging filthy 'Christmas toys. "
Soon it was time and the history through which the tree got its nickname Satanic dark oak.
