Arms of the Naryshkin family

The House of Naryshkin (Russian: Нарышкины) is a noble Russian boyar family,[1][2] going back to a certain Mordko Kurbat Naryshko, who moved to Moscow in the 15th century.[3] It became allied to the ruling house in 1671 when the great beauty Natalya Naryshkina (daughter of Kirill Poluektovich Naryshkin) married Alexis of Russia, later becoming the mother of Peter the Great. The Naryshkin family was persecuted under the regency of Tsarevna Sophia Alekseyevna of Russia, but were then highly favoured by Peter and his descendants and played a major part in Russian life.

Streltsy revolt against Naryshkin family

During the Streltsy uprising, soldiers of the Streltsy staged a revolt against the Naryshkin family (the relatives of Peter's mother, who had assumed actual power). Their uprising was crushed and their unit were forcibly disbanded by the Tsar, with hundreds of them executed or deported.
