After the Mongol invasion of the Vladimir Principality, Yuri left the capital of the principality and went into the forests near the City River (northwest of the modern Yaroslavl region of Russia), where scattered remnants of troops gathered. The Mongolian army under the command of Temnik Burundai approached the City from the direction of Uglich, which they had ravaged.
The outcome of the stubborn battle was decided by the approach of fresh Mongolian forces led by Batu. The Vladimir army was surrounded and almost completely slaughtered. Prince Yuri died with the army, his head was cut off and presented as a gift to Batu Khan. The defeat in the battle of the Sith River predetermined the fall of Northeastern Russia under the rule of the Golden Horde.
