The House of Dolgorukov (Russian: Долгору́ков , IPA:
[dəɫɡɐˈrukəf] ) is a
princely
Russian family of
Rurikid stock. They are a
cadet branch of the
Obolenskiy family (until 1494 the rulers of
Obolensk , one of the
Upper Oka Principalities ) and as such claiming patrilineal descent from
Mikhail of Chernigov (d. 1246).
The founder of the Dolgorukov branch of the Obolenskiy is Prince Ivan Andreevich Obolenskiy (15th century), who for his vengefulness was given the nickname of Долгорукий (Dolgorukiy /Dolgoruky ), 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 .
