Raid on the White Sea (1419)

In 1419, the Kingdom of Norway launched a raid against the Novgorod Republic in the White Sea. The Norwegians entered the sea with 500 men, proceeding to burn down many settlements and three monasteries, killing everybody they could. It is said that "men from beyond the volok" destroyed two of the Norwegian boats.
