Three Russian estates, the background of 1627, and a map to explore

Three Russian estates

Three new pages describe estates linked to the family. Pervitino, near Tver, is the estate of the Khvostovs, the family of Sophie, the wife of Joseph d'Horrer. Razumnoye, near Belgorod, belonged to the Dorogobuzhinovs; Antonina Ippolitovna and her son, Count Vladimir d'Horrer, lived and were buried there, and the page tells how fragments of Antonina's tombstone were found in 2023. Vasilievka, in the Kharkov province, is described by Georgy Lukomsky in 1917, with photographs from 1915.

The background of the ennoblement (1627)

A new chapter places Ferdinand II's diploma in the Thirty Years' War: it cites the service of Eberhard-Georges Horrer's two sons in the imperial troops. Read the chapter.

Marie-Joseph in Moscow in 1812

The chapter on Marie-Joseph d'Horrer now quotes the account of General de Dedem, who gave him and his family shelter in Moscow.
