The House of Meshchersky (Russian: Меще́рский) is an old princely family whose title was recognized by the Russian Empire. The family descends from the medieval independent rulers of the Meshchera tribe. Their title of prince was confirmed by the Emperor Paul I of Russia on 30 June 1798. According to the Velvet Book of the 17th century, Bakhmet Husein, the Prince of Shirin, after some disagreement in the Great Horde (according to Dmitry Ilovaysky princes of Shirin had a disagreement with Tsar of the Great Horde), moved to Volga region and later conquered the land of Meschera in 1298. He had a son by the name of Beklemish who in Andreev Gorodok (Andrew's City) was baptized as Mikhail. Mikhail later build the temple of Transfiguration and along with oneself baptised a number of people. His descendants until 1398 kept as their own the Meschera domain. A grandson of Beklemish, Yuriy Fedorovich, joined with his regiment the Great Prince of Moscow Dmitriy Donskoy at the Kulikovo Battle. In the 16–17th centuries many princes of Meschera were polk (regiment) or grad (city) voivodes. The family was somewhat arbitrarily grouped in documentation together with Tatar princely families of the Russian Empire.
