1698. The antient and present state of Muscovy by Jodocus Crull.
The next considerable in Rank, tho' not in Order, of these Northern Provinces, is the Dukedom of Pleskou, having taken its Name from its Capital City called Pleskou; The Muscovites call it Pskou, from a Lake about two or three Miles distant from it, from whence arises a River of the same name, which runs by the City, and has communicated its Name not only to this City, but the whole Province. Both the City and Dutchy were formerly govern'd by their own Princes, till in the Year 1509. the Great Duke John Basilovits reunited both to the Crown of Muscovy. The Town is not extraordinary large, but very convenient and pleasant, by reason of the nearness of the River, and the Lake. It has besides this two Cities more, called Ostrow and Opolsko.
