The '''House of Zasławski''' (plural ''Zasławscy'') was the name of a [[Polish nobility|Polish]]–[[Ruthenia]]n noble family and a [[cadet branch]] of the [[Ostrogski family]]. The Zasławski family had its power base in [[Volhynia]], [[Crown of the Kingdom of Poland]] (today in [[Ukraine]]), and traced its origins to a branch of the [[Rurik Dynasty|Rurikids]] that took its name from the [[Iziaslav, Ukraine|Iziaslav]]. Due to their relation to the Rurikids, the Zasławski family held the title of ''[[Knyaz]]'' (prince).

==History==
The Zasławski family was one of the three major families in the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] to trace its origins to either [[Kaributas]] (they used [[Korybut]] coat of arms) or, according to modern historical interpretations, the Ruthenian Rurikids; the other two families were the [[Ostrogski family]] and the [[Wiśniowiecki family]]. The Zasławski family was sometimes seen as a junior line of the Ostrogoski family.

After the death in 1620 of the last male heir of the Ostrogoski family, [[Janusz Ostrogski]], many of the Ostrogoski possessions were inherited by the Zasławcy. However, the Zasławski family faced a similar fate when their last male heir, [[Aleksander Janusz Zasławski]], died in 1682. Their huge possessions passed to the [[Lubomirski]] family (due to their marriage with Aleksander's sister, [[Teofilia Ludwika Zasławska]]) and other families of Polish [[szlachta]]. A complicated litigation concerning the Ostrogski inheritance continued until the [[Russian Empire]] annexed Poland during the [[Partitions of Poland|Partitions]].
