Gland Kambilla Divonovich (in the baptism of Ivan Kambilla Divonovich ) is a mythical figure of the Romanov family tree , the reality of its existence is not currently confirmed by historians.
When compiling the Velvet Book in the 17th century , when many Moscow boyars referred to the western origin of their ancestors, a genealogy legend was drawn up about the origin of Andrei Kobyla , the first reliably known ancestor of the Romanovs. According to it, Andrei Kobyla left "from German," from Prussian land [1] . In the XVII century, the development of this legend appeared in the Kolychevs' pedigree, compiled by the heraldmeister Stepan Andreyevich Kolychev . According to her, a certain prince of Gland Cambilla, the son of prince Divon , a descendant of the Prussian king Videvut, tired of the fight against the Teutonic Order , went with his son and many subjects to Grand Duke Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky . There he was baptized with the name Ivan, and his son received the nickname Mare, which is explained by the clerk's typo [2] . The emblem of Danzig was assigned to the descendants of Kobyla as a sign of descent from the Prussian region. As far back as the 18th century, August Schletser pointed out the inconsistency of this genealogy of the legend, however, this version of the origin of Andrei Kobyla also fell into the Russian Herbnik , published in 1797 [3] .
A major researcher of the Moscow boyar nobility, S. B. Veselovsky, believed that the nicknames of Andrei’s children made the version of the clerks ’typo unsound. In addition, in a number of pedigrees, Andrei mentions a brother, Fyodor Shevlyaga. The nickname Shevlyag (or Shevlyug) means "nag", which also speaks of the Russian origin of the nickname. As a result, Veselovsky concluded that Andrei Kobyl came from a noble Moscow family, possibly from Novgorod [1] . This version was also supported by A. A. Zimin [4] .
In 1995, S. V. Konev published the “Rostov Genealogical Synodic,” which mentions the names of many Moscow boyars of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Unlike the well-known researchers of the Uspensky synodik , the Rostov synodik contains not only names, but also nicknames, as well as some biographical data. Among the persons mentioned in it, there is the ancestor of the Romanovs - Andrei Alexandrovich Kobyl [5] . Based on this, the historian A. V. Kuzmin concluded that the pedigree legend led Andrei’s middle name incorrectly [6] .
