ANASTASIA IVANOVNA OF RYAZAN (years of birth and death are unknown), Princess of Ryazan, since 1372 the wife of Solokhmir (Tatar murza, who left the Big Horde to serve Oleg Ivanovich, the Grand Prince of Ryazan in 1371; in Orthodoxy Ivan Miroslavovich)

Father

  • Ivan Alexandrovich, Prince of Pronsk, the Grand Prince of Ryazan [6, p. 581] / Ivan Ivanovich Korotopol, the Grand Prince of Ryazan [1, p. 859; 2; 4, ch. 8, 9]

Biography

Anastasia Ivanovna is the only known sister of the Grand Prince of Ryazan Oleg Ivanovich. A record of her is contained in Oleg Ivanovich's letters patent, mentioning some information about her biography [I, no. 160, l. 6]. Anastasia's date of birth is unknown. Her origin, like that of Oleg Ivanovich, is controversial. N.M. Karamzin believed that Oleg Ivanovich and Anastasia were the children of Ivan Ivanovich, as stated in the annals [4, Ch. 8, 9]. However, this version is unlikely given the date of Anastasia's marriage. Her wedding with the Tatar Murza Solokhmir took place in 1372. Ivan Ivanovich  died around 1343, respectively, Anastasia at the time of the wedding should have been at least 28 years old, the age for the Middle Ages highly respectable, but not appropriate for marriage. Therefore, the version about the origin of Anastasia from Ivan Alexandrovich of Ryazan is more likely [6, p. 581, n. 1867; p. 582, n. 1871].

Anastasia was married to Murza Solokhmir, who, shortly before marriage, converted to Orthodoxy under the name of Ivan Miroslavich [II, p. 282; III, 18-19; IV, p. 27, 31–32; V, p. 431; VI; 3, p. 109; 6, p. 585, n. 1879].

In marriage, they had at least one well-known son - Grigory Ivanovich (Salakhmirov), from whom such families as Apraksins, Shishkins, Verderevskys, etc. went. However, according to some other genealogical data, Anastasia could have three sons: Ivan, Grigory and Mikhail [5].

The date of Anastasia's death is unknown.
