Siege of Kromy
The siege of Kromy was the last major clash of government troops of Boris Godunov with the rebel army of False Dmitry I. == Prelude == After Battle of Dobrynichy, most noblemen and mercenaries with whom False Dmitry I began his campaign left him, but under his banner, peasants and Cossacks flocked massively, dissatisfied with the rule of Godunov and who supposedly believed False Dmitry to be "the lawful sovereign". == Siege == A small garrison of Kromy was reinforced by five hundred Cossacks led by the ataman Andrei Korela, who had retreated here after the Battle of Dobrynichi.
