The House of Odoyev (Russian: Одо́евские, Polish: Odojewscy) was a branch of the Olgovichi princely family descended from Michael of Chernigov via the sovereign princes of Odoyev and Novosil. Their ancestors were the Upper Oka sovereigns who ruled the tiny Principality of Odoyev until 1494. In the following decade the family was absorbed into the ranks of Muscovite boyars. The Odoyevsky family died out in the mid-19th century. The family was listed in the 5th part ('titled nobility') of the dvoryanstvo registers of the Moscow and Vladimir regions.^[1]
