Prince Yuriy Trubetskoy (c. 1643, Kingdom of Poland - 12 July 1679) was a Ruthenian boyar from the Trubetsky family.
During the 16th century, the Trubetsky family split between brothers Alexei, who elected to stay under Russian tsarship, and Yuri Nikita, Yuriy's grandfather, who favored the Kingdom of Poland.
[1] Yuriy was born circa 1643 in Starodub,[citation needed] Poland to Piotr Trubecki and Elżbieta Iwanowna Trubecka née Drucka-Sokolińska.
[1] He named his step-father Krzysztof Wołodkiewicz his heir to the boyarship in Poland, made it clear in his writings that he was being forced to go to Russia and would later return to his homeland, and left.
[2] Trubetskoy married Iryną Golicyną, daughter of Vasily Vasilyevich Golitsyn, after accepting the village of Bogorodskoye-Kraskovo as dowry.
