However, at first both sides avoided an open clash (Metropolitan Photius did much to reconcile his relatives). One treaty (or draft of the treaty) between Vasily and Yury with his son Dmitry "Menshoy" (Krasny) dates back to 1427/1428. Historians note that in this case the elder brothers of Dmitry Krasny were not mentioned, which may indicate their independent role or even the beginning of the confrontation with their father. At the famous feast in 1433, when a quarrel over the belt occurred, only older brothers were present again; thus, the father and youngest son (Dmitry Krasny) were opposed to them at that time. But now the offended elder sons went to Galich and teamed up with their father. The combined forces defeated Vasily and so Yury, according to the testament of Dmitry Donskoy, sent Vasily to reign in Kolomna. However, Kosoy and Shemyaka were not satisfied; they killed boyar Morozov, the initiator of the peace agreement with Vasily, and left Moscow. The position of Yury became fragile and he soon abandoned Moscow. In 1433, a new treaty was signed between Vasily and Yurн together with Dmitry Krasny. In it, as a separate paragraph, Yury and Dmitry Krasny pledged not to help Kosoy ana Shemyaka. Historian Zimin suggests that the agreement implied a joint struggle against the eldest sons of Yuri. Under the agreement, Dmitry Krasny got Bezhetsky Verkh from Vasily. Thus, Dmitry Krasny continued to follow his father's moderate policies, while his older brothers were more radical. In 1434 an open clash happened and the combined forces of Yury with his sons prevailed over Vasily II. The Vologda-Perm chronicle noted that Dmitry Krasny participated in the father's march on Moscow. Yury sat on the throne of the Grand Duchy in Moscow, and two Dmitry (Shemyaka and Krasny) were sent in pursuit of Vasily II. But along the way, the word got round that their father had died (he was at the head of the state only for two months), and Vasily Kosoy, the eldest of the brothers, declared himself ruler. This was a complete violation of all laws of succession: both majorat and agnatic seniority. Two Dmitry did not recognize the claims of their older brother and went over to the side of Vasily.
