Kropotkin family

The House of Kropotkin is an ancient Russian noble family of Rurik stock descending from Prince Dmitry Vasilyevich nicknamed Kropotka, a nephew of the last Grand Duke of Smolensk, Yuri Svyatoslavich. Princes Kropotkin are listed in the 5th part of the Kazan, Kaluga, Mogilyov, Moscow, Ryazan, Saint-Petersburg and Tula genealogical books and 2nd part of the Moscow genealogical book.

History
In the 15th-early 16th centuries, Princes Kropotkin were vassals of the Grand Duke of Lithuania. In 1496 Prince Ivan Dmitrievich Kropotkin (d. 1502) received the village of Jelowiczi in Lutsk Powiat, but around the beginning of the 16th century he turned to the Muscovite side and died in the Russo-Lithuanian war of 1500 — 1503. Despite many other impoverished Rurikid families, the Kropotkins managed to maintain the princely title. To the general public the family is mainly known for the famed Russian revolutionary Pyotr Kropotkin. == Notable members ==
