Thread: couldn't translate this sentence properly =(

Во Владимире Андрей прокняжил недолго. В 1252 г. Александр съездил на Дон к Сартаку, сыну Батыя, управлявшему тогда Ордой, с жалобой на Андрея, что тот не по старшинству получил великокняжеский стол и не сполна платил хану выход.

Наоборот, совершенно нормальное политическое поведение того времени! Может быть это отрывок из «Повести временных лет».

Я добавил в скобках несколько слов.

Andrey did not reign long in Vladimir. In 1252 Alexander went down the Don River to Sartak, the son of [Khan] Baty, who was ruling the [Golden] Horde at that time, and complained against Andrey, saying that Andrey had not ascended to the throne by seniority [as was the tradition], and that he had not paid the khan the full tribute due him.
