Biography
Andrei Kobyla was documented in contemporary Russian chronicles only once, in 1347,[1][2] when he was sent by Simeon of Moscow to Tver with the purpose of meeting Simeon's bride, who was a daughter of Aleksandr Mikhailovich of Tver. Neither his pedigree nor exact position at court are known, hence speculation abounds.[3]
Later generations assigned to Kobyla the most illustrious pedigrees. They first claimed that he had arrived in Moscow in 1341 from Prussia,[3] where his father, Glanda Kambila, was a famous Prussian holdout against the conquest of Balts by the Teutonic knights. Teutonic Order records do speak of a rebel named Glande.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In the late 17th century, after the Romanovs' elevation to Russia's ruling dynasty, this origin story was replaced by a more grandiose lineage. A fictional line giving Andrei Kobyla's descent from Julius Caesar was published. Sixteenth-century genealogies mention five of Andrei's sons: Simeon Zherebets, Alexander Yolka, Vasily Vantey, Gavrila Gavsha and Fyodor Koshka.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
