Shuysky
The House of Shuysky (Shuisky; Russian: Шуйские, romanized: Shuyskiye) was a Russian family of boyars and tsars, a cadet branch of the Rurikids.
The surname is derived from the town of Shuya, of which the Shuiskys gained ownership in 1403. From 1606 to 1610, Vasili Shuisky ruled as tsar over Russia during the Time of Troubles.
The Shuiskys descended from the princely house of Suzdal, whose progenitor was either Andrey II of Vladimir, brother of Alexander Nevsky, or, according to other interpretations, Andrey of Gorodets, Nevsky’s son. Regardless of the interpretation, the Shuiskys shared a common ancestry with the ruling Muscovite line of the Rurikids, which descended from Daniel of Moscow, Alexander Nevsky’s son.
Dmitry of Suzdal, Prince of Suzdal and Nizhny Novgorod, died in 1383, leaving behind two sons: Vasiliy, called Kirdyapa, and Symeon. They became the progenitors of two branches of the Shuisky family. The younger branch, descended from Symeon, split into several lines (Shuisky-Glazaty, Barbashin, and Shuisky-Gorbaty), all of which died out in the 16th century. The main line of the Shuiskys descends from Vasiliy Kirdyapa.
The sons of Vasiliy Kirdyapa, Ivan and Yuri, fought to preserve the independence of their principality, but ultimately had to acknowledge Moscow’s supremacy. In return, they were granted the town and appanage principality of Shuya.
Yuri left two sons, Vasiliy and Fedor, whose descendants played a prominent role at the Muscovite court. Among them, Vasiliy the Pale, son of Vasiliy, and Vasiliy the Mute, grandson of Fedor, stood out in particular.
Vasily the Pale was dispatched by Ivan III to govern Pskov and then Nizhny Novgorod (1478–80). The following year, he devastated Livonia and was sent as a governor to Novgorod. In 1487, he was recorded as leading a Russian contingent against Kazan.
Vasily Shuysky the Mute was Grand Prince Vasily III's taciturn aide-de-camp who accompanied him on every military campaign and became an éminence grise of Muscovite politics. In 1517, he defeated forces of Poland and Lithuania under Konstanty Ostrogski as part of the 4th Muscovite-Lithuanian War. Six years later, Vasily the Mute led a Russian expedition along the Volga against Kazan. Upon the death of Vasily III's widow, Elena Glinskaya, he challenged the authority of Prince Ivan Belsky, procured his incarceration, married Anastasia of Kazan (Ivan III's granddaughter), and proclaimed himself regent for Vasily III's heir, the young Ivan IV, in 1538.[citation needed]
