Lopukhin family explained

The House of Lopukhin was an old Russian noble family, most influential during the Russian Empire, forming one of the branches of the Sorokoumov-Glebov family.

History

The family is said to have descended from Rededya and first appeared in the XIV century documents as Boyars of Ivan I of Moscow. Laptev family share the same roots as the Lopukhin family, as they descended from two brothers, Esip - nicknamed Lapot, who became the founder of the Laptevs, and Vasily - nicknamed Lopukha, founder of Lopukhins. The family's prominence started when Eudoxia Lopukhina married Peter the Great. When Pyotr Lopukhin's son died childless, the family's princely title passed to Nikolai Petrovich Demidov-Lopukhin. The present Prince Lopukhin-Demidov is Nikolai Alexander Paul Demidoff born in 1976.
