Life
Ivan Jurjewitsch Trubetskoi was the son of the nobleman Yuri Petrovich Trubetskoi (1643–1679) and Princess Irina Golitsyna († 1679). Due to the high position of his family Ivan was already seventeen to Stolnik appointed. He was one of the first to serve as captain in the Preobrazhensk body guard regiment until 1693. A year later he was made lieutenant colonel . In addition, Trubetskoi was made a boyar in 1692 . It was a typical combination of old and new ranks and titles in Peter's reign. Trubetskoi then received the rank of major general . He commanded part of the newly established Russian fleet during the Azov campaign in 1696. In 1699 he was appointed governor of Novgorod .
During the Great Northern War , the prince commanded a division in the siege of Narva and was captured by the victorious Swedes in the ensuing battle of Narva . He remained in captivity for the next 18 years. Charles XII. allowed Trubezkoi's wife, Irina Naryshkina (1671–1749) to come to her husband and live with him in Sweden. In 1718 he and General Avtonom Michailowitsch Golowin were released from captivity in exchange for the Swedish Marshal Carl Gustaf Rehnskiöld . He had a legitimate daughter, Anastassija Trubezkaja , later Hereditary Princess of Hesse-Homburg , and an illegitimate son, Ivan Ivanovich Betskoi (1704–1795) with a Swedish mistress, probably the Baroness Wrede.
Upon his return to Russia, Trubetskoy received the rank of lieutenant general on January 1, 1719, and three months later he was appointed commander of all cavalry regiments in Ukraine . On January 28, 1722 after the conclusion of the Treaty of Nystad with Sweden, the prince was promoted to general. In February he was appointed governor general of Kiev . He held this position until December of the next year.
With Peter II's accession to the throne in 1728, he received the rank of field marshal, albeit without having made any particular military service.
