The House of Lobanov-Rostovsky (Russian: Лобановы-Ростовские, literally "Lobanov-Rostovskys") is a Russian princely family that claims their descent from the House of Rurik[1] and whose male-line ancestors were the Rostov princes, who ruled the Principality of Rostov, the area now in the present-day Russia.[2][3]
History
[edit]It originated with Prince Ivan (nicknamed Loban (Лобан) for his wide forehead), who lived at the end of the 15th century and was an ancestor of reigning princes of Rostov the Great.[4][2]
Some notable members of the family are listed in the "Lobanov-Rostovsky" article.
Their coat of arms has a divided shield: the upper part of blue color shows Archangel Gabriel, silver with golden halo and sword. The lower part in red shows a standing, gold-armed silver stag with a golden collar. Around the coat of arms are the princely insignia.[5]
Among the (former) estate of the family is the Lobanov-Rostovsky Palace in downtown Saint Petersburg.[6]
Relatives
[edit]There are some other (extinct) princely families that descended from Rostov princes: Bakhteyarov-Rostovsky[7] and Golenin-Rostovsky[8]
