The House of Gagarin (Russian: Гага́рин) is an ancient Russian princely family descending from Monomakhovichi, sovereign rulers of Starodub-on-the-Klyazma, a branch of the Rurik dynasty.[1]
Origins
[edit]Yaroslav Vsevolodovich II of Vladimir (died 1246) gave to his younger brother, Prince Ivan Vsevolodich 'kasha' (1197–1247) the appanage of Starodub. [2]
The great-great-grandson of this Prince Ivan, Prince Ivan Fedorovich, called Lapa-Golibesovskoy, had a grandson, Ivan Mikhailovich Gagara, whose descendants, the Princes Gagarin, served the Russian throne as boyars and in other distinguished positions.[3]
They were granted fiefdoms for their service to the tsar.[4] Members of the family held the title of Knyaz in the Russian Empire.[5]
