The House of Gantimurov[1] (Шаблон:Lang-ru) is a Russian princely family of Evenks.
History
The family comes from the eastern Siberian Dauriya and were already tribal chiefs of the siberian-transbaikalian Evenks and the Mongolian Daurian tribes in the 16th century.[2] It is named after Gantimur (1610-1685), son of a chief of the Evenks and Daurians, whose name is derived from the Mongolian gan ("steel") and tömör ("iron"). He was a relative of the khans of the Jurchen Later Jin dynasty that had come to the Chinese imperial throne with Nurhaci as the first Qing dynasty emperor. Gantimur initially entered the service of Emperor Shunzhi and led his 8,000 cavalry Evenks into Inner Mongolia as a unit of the Chinese army. Tasked with fighting the Russian Cossacks, who had built a fort in Kumarsk on the Amur River, he defected to them. In 1667 he returned with his troops to his home near Nerchinsk and put himself into the service of the Russians. This opened Transbaikalia and the country on the Amur River to the influence of the Tsardom of Russia.
Gantimur and his eldest son Katanai were baptized Russian Orthodox in 1684. In 1685 Katanai was accepted into the Russian nobility. He and his descendants received the title of prince (Knyaz) and were exempt from the yasak tax. They were granted a special salary.[3] In 1686, Tsars Ivan V and Peter I confirmed the family's princely status with an ukase.
In the 1st half of the 18th century, the Gantimurov princes were known throughout Siberia for their wealth. In 1761 they established the village of Karymskoye in Dauria. The titled branch of the family is recorded in Part V of the Noble Genealogy Book of the Irkutsk Province (February 1786). Their heraldic emblem is contained in the 17th part of the Gerbovnik. Wassily Kandinsky's great-grandmother was born Princess Gantimurov.
