At this period the tartar-mongols, among whom Mohammedanism was disseminated until about 1272, were still Buddhists, Shamanists, or fetich worshipers at heart very indifferent in matters of religion, and strangers to any thought of propagandism or of intolerance. They, therefore, left the Russians in undisturbed posses sion of their religion, their laws, and their own princely dynasties. They merely exacted tribute, and, in certain contingencies, military service; and every new Russian prince must go to receive his investiture either at Sarai, or even by ajourney that would occupy years, at the court of the Great Khan. There they were compelled to prostrate themselves at the foot of his throne, to defend themselves against the accusations of enemies, or Of their Russian rivals; and the Khan disposed of their heads as Of their crowns. Many Russian princes were executed before his eyes. Some among these, the Russian Church honors as martyrs.
