The House of Tatischev or Tatishchev (Russian: Тати́щевы) is a Russian noble family traditionally believed to be descended from the Princes of Solomerech of the Rostislavichi of Smolensk. This version of the Tatischev family's genealogy had made it to the Velvet Book. A cadet branch of the family bears the title of counts. The Tatischevs are listed in the Parts 5 (titled nobility) and 6 (ancient nobility) of the genealogical books of Moscow, Tver, Tula, Kostroma, Penza and Saint-Petersburg governorates. From the four lineages of the family, the cadet one was granted the title of counts in 1801.

History

[edit]

According to the genealogical books, the progenitor of the Tatishchevs (Tatischevs) was Prince Vasily Yuryevich nicknamed Tat-isch (Russian: Тать-ищь), the son of Prince Yuri Ivanovich of Solomerech (Solomirsky), the son of Prince Ivan Dmitrievich Shah, the Prince of Solomerech, who served to Duke Ivan III. The family legend claims that Vasily Yuryevich was the viceroy of Duke Vasily I of Moscow at Veliky Novgorod in the early 1400s, but other sources do not mention him as the viceroy. The reliability of the Tatischevs' genealogy is disputed by some researchers.[1]

In the 15th century, the Tatischevs did not play a significant role. In the late 1500s, Ignaty Tatischev was a prominent figure who had reached the office of the royal treasurer. Matvey Tatischev was a voivode at Gdov (1582 — 1584), Ivan Tatische — a voivode at Izborsk (1582), Mikhail Tatischev (d. 1609) was a yaselnichy (an assistant to the royal equerry) and a prominent figure of the Times of Troubles. Alexey Tatischev (d. 1760) was a general-in-chief. In the 18th — 19th centuries, the Tatischev family had produced a large number of generals, courtiers, governors and diplomats.
