Summary
Ivan III, duke of Muscovy in the reign of Bayezid II 1.
The first Russian ambassador
Al-Salabi dates to Ivan's reign the arrival of the first Russian ambassador at Islambul in 898/1492, and writes that in 886 Ivan "wrested the emirate of Moscow from the hands of the Muslim Ottomans and began expanding at the expense of the Islamic provinces" — the book's own framing within its account of widening Western diplomacy under Bayezid 1.
