ENThe article deals with the complex of documents dedicated to the princely family of Chortoryiski from the “West Rus Acts” collection of the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg which materials cover the period from 1528 to 1646 and documents of Lithuanian Metrica. The family founder Vasyl Kostiantynovych Chortoryiskyi’s sons Ivan and Mykhailo were members of the Council of the grand Lithuanian duke Švitrigaila in the 15th century. Nevertheless, the destiny has parted them in two different ways. The first one’s heirs received state positions and estates in the Moscow state, the second one’s – in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The “West Rus Acts” represent the Chortoryiski family of the Lithuanian branch. The main figures involved in property transactions of the Chortoryiski family were the Lutsk head (1522–1542) prince Fedir Mykhailovych and his son prince Ivan Fedorovych. Prince Fedir was prince Mykhailo Vasyliovych’s son who was a marshal of the duke Švitrigaila’s court from 1445 to 1452 and the Bratslav deputy from 1452 and also the grandson of the family’s founder – prince Vasyl Kostiantynovych Chortoryiskyi. His son prince Ivan Fedorovych (1564– 1565) held the position of spravtsa of the Kyiv palatine for about two years.
