11/12/1472 AD arrived
On 24 June 1472, Sophia and Fryazin, left Rome with a grand entourage. The bride was accompanied by Cardinal Bessarion, who was probably able to act as an agent at the Moscow court.
Their itinerary took them to the north of Italy through Germany to the port of Lübeck, where they arrived on 1 September. The voyage across the Baltic Sea took 11 days.
The ship landed in Reval (now Tallinn) in October 1472, and she continued the trip through Dorpat (now Tartu), Pskov, and Novgorod.
She was officially acclaimed in Pskov, and impressed onlookers by the way she thanked the public herself for the celebrations.
On 12 November 1472, Sophia finally arrived in Moscow.
