Lobanov-Rostovsky, Pyotr Semenovich

In 1575, Prince P. S. Lobanov-Rostovsky served as his head in the regiment of his right hand under the command of the boyar of Prince Golitsyn “on the Mouse”. In December of that year, he participated in a campaign against Revel (Kolyvan) with the same regiment. In 1577, after the capture of the Russian army, Rezhitsa was left in her governor and served there as early as 1580 . In 1580 - 1581 years - the first governor in Alyst (Marienburg) . In 1583 he was one of the governor of a large regiment in a campaign against the Crimean Tatars.

In 1583 , 1584 - 1585, the third governor of Veliky Novgorod . The governor and the first governor in Novgorod at that time was the boyar Prince Vasily Fedorovich Skopin-Shuisky .

After the death of Tsar Ivan the Terrible and the accession to the royal throne of his son Fyodor Ivanovich, the Swedish military commander and governor of Livonia Pontus Delagardi wrote to the first governor of Novgorod, Prince V.F. Skopin-Shuisky , asking if Moscow ambassadors would come to Stockholm to conclude peace, and sent at the same time " dangerous letters " for ambassadors to travel. The incorrectness in the tsar’s title allowed by Delagardi prompted Prince VF Skopin-Shuisky to leave the letter unanswered. Soon Pontus Delagardi sent a second letter, again inviting Moscow ambassadors to come to Stockholm . This letter was followed by such an answer from the second Novgorod governor, Prince Peter Semenovich Lobanov-Rostovsky: “ You are a stranger in the Swedish land, you don’t know the old customs of the state, as the father of your sovereign referred to Novgorod governors. Our sovereign does not need dangerous royal letters for ambassadors, the case is not worthwhile, and I sent this dangerous letter with your rider back. And what you didn’t use for the sovereign of our sovereign is because you didn’t live with the sovereigns, our sovereign does not know how to describe it. ”

The Livonian governor Pontus Delagardi was offended by both this answer and the fact that he was answered not by the first Novgorod governor, but by the second. To Prince Vasily Fedorovich Skopin-Shuisky he wrote: " I have always been the same as you, unless I am better than you ." Prince P. S. Lobanov-Rostovsky received such reproaches from him: “ You all stand in your great Russian mad ignorance and pride; and it would be useful for you to leave this, because you have little profit from this. Be it known to you that I have long been not a foreigner in the highly praised Swedish state here, and they do not call me a foreigner. You write that for a while I was not at the court of my sovereign - this is true: I think that your sovereign and you and his other subjects found out about it, because I went with the Swedish army in your land and fought it. Know that my king will never send his ambassadors to the land of your sovereign until all matters are settled and accomplished at the frontier . ”

On March 8, 1585, Prince Peter Vasilievich Lobanov-Rostovsky was appointed together with Prince Vasily Fedorovich Skopin-Shuisky to " do the city business " in Novgorod on the Sofia side. In 1587 he was granted a prisoner , and then was appointed the second judge of the Robbery order .

In 1587 - 1588, Prince P. S. Lobanov-Rostovsky often dined at the royal table. On January 26, 1589, when the Metropolitan Job was ordained a patriarch, Prince P. S. Lobanov-Rostovsky drove in front of him “ near the city of a donkey ” along with Patriarch Boyar A. V. Plescheev. On January 27, the day after Job was appointed to the patriarchs, Prince Peter Lobanov dined with the patriarch by royal decree. On January 28, after a mass from the patriarchal court to the Tver Gate, a donkey was led by the patriarch: boyars Boris Fedorovich Godunov and Andrei Vasilyevich Pleshcheev . As the patriarch rode out of the Tver Gate, Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich ordered Boris Godunov to be with him, and in his place he sent Prince Peter Semenovich Lobanov-Rostovsky. On January 28, along with other nobles, Prince P. S. Lobanov-Rostovsky brought gifts to Patriarch Job ; during lunch at the patriarchal table, Prince P. S. Lobanov and boyar A. V. Pleshcheyev occupied the main places.

In 1589 he was sent to Novgorod to prepare the city for the arrival of the Russian army under the leadership of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich , who marched against Sweden. In 1590 - 1592, the okolnichny prince Pyotr Semyonovich Lobanov-Rostovsky was the second governor in Veliky Novgorod . In 1591 he was sent " according to the sviski news " with a convoy of bread for the army from Novgorod to Ivangorod .

In 1597, Prince Peter Semenovich Lobanov-Rostovsky died, leaving no posterity.
