Marriage and children of St. Michael of Chernigov
St. Michael married to Elena Romanovna (or Maria Romanovna), a daughter of prince Roman Mstislavich of Halych and his wife, Predslava Rurikovna of Kiev. Their children were:- Feodula Mikhailovna (1212–1250); she became nun and adopted the religious name of Evfrosinia;
- Duke Rostislav Mikhailovich of Macsó (after 1210 / c. 1225 - 1262);
- Maria Mikhailovna (? - December 7/9, 1271), wife of Prince Vasilko Konstantinovich of Rostov;
- Prince Roman Mikhailovich of Chernigov and Bryansk (c. 1218 - after 1288 / after 1305)
- Prince Mstislav Mikhailovich of Karachev and Zvenigorod (1220–1280)
- Prince Simeon Mikhailovich of Glukhov and Novosil
- Prince Yury Mikhailovich of Torusa and Bryansk.
Essentially, the four princes—Roman, Simeon, Mstislav, and Iurii—claimed in most published Russian genealogies past and present (Dolgorukov, Vlas'ev, Ikonnikov, Ferrand, Dumin & Grebel'skii, etc.) as sons of St. Michael of Chernigov and as the progenitors of numerous princely families, are apparently not to be found in any original historical document. They appear for the first time in the genealogies composed—or more likely contrived—in the 16th century. (The 16th century witnessed a spate of fanciful genealogical aspirations among European royal and noble families. The Habsburgs claimed descent from Julius Caesar’s cousin Sextus (among others); the Bagratids of Georgia, from the biblical King David; the Lévis-Mirepoix, from cousins of the Virgin Mary; and the Muscovite tsars, from Augustus Caesar).
