Notes
- ^ The title 'Grand Prince of Vladimir' was mostly titular by the early 14th century.
- ^ a b The warring parties' relations with various allies, in particular the Tatars, who alternately supported one side or the other, played an important role during the war.[24]
- ^ a b Depends on whether or not Ulugh Muhammad was considered Golden/Great Horde khan at this time, when it was effectively locked in a war of succession. Ulugh had been claiming to be khan of the Golden Horde since 1419 (deaths of Edigu and Qadir Berdi). He had several competitors, including Hajji Muhammad (successor of Edigu in Sibir), Dawlat Berdi (1420s in Crimea), Barak Khan (1423–1429), Sayid Ahmad I (from 1427) and Küchük Muhammad (early 1430s). Ulugh lost control of the Golden Horde in 1436, first retreating to Crimea, then moving to Belyov in 1437, before settling in Kazan in 1438 and founding the Khanate of Kazan there.
- ^ While the Genoese were able to withstand all Crimean attacks, Genoese Gazaria weakened after the fall of Constantinople, while Crimean–Ottoman relations strengthened. The Great Horde weakened the Crimean Khanate, thereby managing to assist the Genoese at crucial moments, while its own strength gradually waned.
