Lvov princely family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lvov (Russian: Львов) is the name of a princely Russian family of Rurikid stock. The family is descended from the princes of Yaroslavl where early members of the family are buried. The family takes its name from Knyaz Lev Danylovich Zubatny (c. 1228-1301), otherwise known as Leo of Halych, the 'first' Lvov and an 18^th generation descendent of Rurik.
