Lyapunov, Zakhary Petrovich

From an old noble family . In 1595 he did not want to be in the village heads with Kikin and fled from service from Yelets to his Ryazan estate. The Ryazan governor ordered him to be fettered from there to Pereyaslavl-Ryazan, beat with batogs in front of all people, put in prison and then, under the supervision of a bailiff, sent to duty.

In 1603, Tsar Boris ordered the children of the boyars of Ryazan to be asked: who sent all kinds of “reserved goods” to the Don, that is, wine, gunpowder, sulfur, nitrate, lead and various weapons? They answered: there was a rumor that Zakhary Lyapunov sent wine to the Cossacks in the Don and sold shell and iron hat (helmet). For this, he was carved with a whip.

In 1606, in Ryazan, regimental governor under the command of the boyar of Prince. Fedor Timofeevich Dolgoruky, along with his brother. In the fall of 1607, Zakhary Lyapunov “hunted thieves near Ryazhsk.” In the spring of 1608, during the siege of the city of Pronsk, Prokopiy Lyapunov was wounded and transferred his duties to his brother. In August 1608, hearing about the capture of Zaraysk by the head of the so-called. The “Moscow Confederation” of Polish-Lithuanian mercenaries A. Lisovsky , the governors of Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky sent military men to this city under the command of Zakhary Lyapunov. Instead of immediately embarking on a siege of the city, he, as stated in the "New Chronicler", is "not drunk with a drunken custom." Upon learning that the detachment was “disordered,” and the bosses were drunk, Lisovsky left Zaraysk, beat and captured many soldiers, and the rest fled.

In July 1610, Zakhary Lyapunov filed a petition in Moscow on the grant of land. Tsar Vasily Shuisky sent an obedient letter to the peasants in the palace village of Kazari. The local salary of Zakhary Lyapunov was 900 hours at that time, and his son Semyon was 700 hours. The tsar granted from s. Cossacks in their salary: Zakhar 212 hours, and Semen 298 hours and ordered them to amicably share the estate among themselves.

At the approach of False Dmitry II on July 17, a rebellion arose in Moscow. The leaders of the rebels were Zakhary Lyapunov, Fedor Khomutov and Mikhail Saltykov . Lyapunov made the first public gathering, requiring Shuisky to abdicate, as a result of which the tsar was forced to move from the palace to his former boyar house. On July 19, he and his comrades forcibly tonsured Shuisky into monks and brought him to the Miracles Monastery.

When the party of Prince Vladislav prevailed, on September 11, 1610 the embassy was sent from Moscow to the Polish king Sigismund ; The main ambassadors were: Boyar Prince. You. You. Golitsyn and Metropolitan Filaret ; among the nobility of the embassy was Zakhary Lyapunov.

In December, Lyapunov remained near Smolensk, transferred to the Polish camp, and with his slander against senior ambassadors, he contributed to the failure of the embassy of Filaret and Golitsyn. The petition Zacharias of the fortification of estates beyond him belongs to the same time. The petition is written in the name of Sigismund, but only because he is the father of Vladislav, who was chosen to the Moscow throne. The further fate of Zakhary Lyapunov is unknown.
