Glinski , also Hliński , Lithuanian Glinskiai , Polish Glińscy , Russian Глинские is the name of a princely dynasty of Tatar descent, which had its development and influence in the grand duchies of Lithuania and Moscow at the beginning of the 16th century.

The family is to be distinguished from several other Polish Glinski families, who, however, belonged to other coats of arms and partly converted to the Prussian or Silesian nobility.

history

The lineage traces its lineage back directly to Mamai , an emir of the Golden Horde . Since the 14th century, individual members of the sex were able to occupy important and influential positions in Lithuania and Russia, until they finally took control of the state as regents and quasi-regents of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the middle of the 16th century. In the power struggles and the upheavals in Moscow around the middle of the 16th century, the Glinski finally lost their influence. They have been held responsible for the Moscow fire , for example . In 1602 the princely family in the male line died out.

An untitled tribe, which could not provide evidence of joining the princely tribe, existed in Lithuania until the 19th century . Five members of the Vilnius Voivodeship signed the election of the Polish King John II Casimir in 1648 . In 1817, the Russian major general Jokymas Glinski tried to have the title recognized, but the Senate refused.

coat of arms

Tamğa of the Crimean Tatars

The silver herald image in the red heraldic shield . On the crowned helmet with red and silver covers, three ostrich feathers .

The blazon of the herald's image is very inconsistent. Russian authors derive from the Tatar Tamğa symbolism (cf. Tamğa of the Crimean Tatars ) and interpret a princely throne with a cross-shaped scepter . Polish heralds describe either a cross turned upside down with an anchor-like end piece pointing upwards in a wooden gate or the Russian letter Л crossed by a beam above and arched in two, as well as crossed below the letter. With cautious distance, Gritzner refers to the view of some German colleagues that it is a stylized wine press .

The genders Daszkowicz, Lichodziejewski, Lichodziejski and Mamaj also make use of the Glinski coat of arms.
