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 Rostovsky, nicknamed Loban (Лобан) for his wide forehead ("Лоб" means 'forehead' in Russian), who lived at the end of the 15th century and was a descendant 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 other (extinct) princely families that descended from Rostov princes: Bakhteyarov-Rostovsky[7] and Golenin-Rostovsky.[8]
