The House of Zubov (Russian: Зу́бов) was the Russian noble family, that rose to occupy some of the highest offices of state in the 1790s, when Platon Zubov became the last favorite of Empress Catherine the Great (r. 1762–1796). Members of the family were granted the title Prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1796 by Francis I.[1][2]
