The House of Prozorovsky (Russian: Прозоровскиe) were a Russian noble family descending from medieval rulers of Yaroslavl and Mologa and eventually the Rostislavichi of Smolensk. Their name is derived from the village of Prozorovo near Mologa, which used to be their only votchina in the 15th century.[1]
