Yaroslav Vsevolodovich II of Vladimir (died 1246) gave his brother Ivan the appanage of Starodub. The great-great-grandson of this Prince Ivan, Prince Ivan Fedorovich, called Lapa-Golibesovskoy, had a grandson, Ivan Mikhailovich Gagara, whose descendants, the Princes Gagarin, served the Russian throne as boyars and in other distinguished positions. They were granted fiefdoms for their service to the tsar.
