House of Dolgorukov
The House of Dolgorukov is a princely Russian family of Rurikid stock. They are a cadet branch of the Obolenskiy family and as such claiming patrilineal descent from Mikhail of Chernigov.
The founder of the Dolgorukov branch of the Obolenskiy is Prince Ivan Andreevich Obolenskiy, who for his vengefulness was given the nickname of Долгорукий, i.e. "far-reaching". Obolensk was incorporated into the expanding Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1494, and the house of Dolgorukov became a powerful noble family in Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire.
