Andrei Ivanovich Kobyla
Andréi Ivánovich Kobýla (russian: Андре́й Ива́нович Кобы́ла) was the earliest-known agnatic ancestor of the Romanov dynasty of Russian tsars and many Russian noble families. Biography This boyar was documented in contemporary chronicles only once, in 1347, when he was sent by Simeon of Russia, Grand Duke Simeon the Proud to Tver with the purpose of meeting Simeon's bride, who was a daughter of Alexander I of Tver. Neither his pedigree nor exact position at court are known, hence speculation abounds. Later generations assigned to Kobyla the most illustrious Pedigree chart, pedigrees. They first claimed that he had arrived in Moscow in 1341 from Old Prussians, Prussia, where his father, Glanda Kambila, was a famous Prussian holdout against the conquest of Balts by the Teutonic knights. Teutonic Order records do speak of a rebel named Glande. In the late 17th century, after the Romanov's elevation to Russia's ruling dynasty, this origin story was r ...
