Does anybody know more about cited "boyar Blud"? In family lords and counts of Zierotin is fame about origins of this family from this man, but nobody knows more. Thanks Zdenek Kucera

In the source I used when writing this article, they mention the Zierotin family legend of their descent from Yaropolk's brother Oleg. I've never heard that Zierotins claimed descent from Blud. --Ghirlandajo 06:04, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for reply. Yes, Zierotins claimed descent from Oleg (Kolga in family three), but in Zierotins family was first historical man named Blud of Bludov (cca 1200)and family lived in castle Bludov from 1200 today. And with Karel Mornstein-Zierotin, contemporaly head of family (and owner of castle Bludov), we think, that is more possible trace roots to Blud then to Oleg (and Rurik, of course).Why rurikid prince named his own castle after well known treasoner? But in case of ascendants of voivod Blud this looks more right. But this all is hidden in time... Zdenek Kucera
