The First Novgorod Chronicle tells that in 1142 a Swedish "prince" and bishop accompanied by a fleet of 60 ships plundered just three Novgorodian merchant vessels somewhere "on the other side of the sea", obviously being after something more important.
Novgorodi esimeses kroonikas leidub lugu, mille järgi rüüstas aastal 1142 60 laevast koosnev Rootsi laevastik eesotsas "printsi" ja piiskopiga vaid kolme Novgorodi kaubalaeva kusagil "teiselpool merd", olles ilmselt mingil tähtsamal retkel.
