The House of Saltykov (Russian: Салтыков, IPA: [səltɨˈkof]) is the name of an old Russian noble family which can trace their ancestry back to 1240. In March 1730 the family was awarded with the title of Count in Russia, granted to them by Empress Anna of Russia.[1]
Origin and history of the noble family
In the Velvet Book, their ancestor is named Mikhail Ignatievich Morozov-Saltyk (or Soltyk), and his ancestor is a certain Misha Prushanin (1240). His descendants, Andrei Saltykov, gunsmith (1508) of Grand Duke Vasily Ivanovich. Boris Ivanovich governor of Ivan the Terrible. Ivan Danilovich, owned estates (1568). Timofey Ivanovich, nicknamed Kurgan, was written (1630) among the nobles and children of boyars with a local salary. Stepan Timofeevich Saltykov was granted an estate (1676)
During the Time of Troubles, boyar Mikhail Saltykov-Krivoy defended the transfer of the Russian crown to the Polish prince. Together with some relatives, he subsequently settled in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Polish branch of the family (Saltyki), like the Russian one, uses the Soltyk coat of arms.
