Armoiries des Princes Belosselsky Belozersky.

Belosselsky Belozersky family (Russian: Beloselsky-Belozersky) is a Russian princely family from Riourik (862), founder of the Russian state. His descendants reigned in Novgorod and took their name from Beloye Selo's stronghold near the town of Belozersk in the Novgorod region, which they owned independently until the 13th century. Prince Alexander Mikhailovich obtained the authorization to bear the double name by the name of the Emperor Paul I, dated February 27, 1799, for him and his descendants, in memory of the sovereignty of his family over the principality of Beloozero. The family is mentioned in the Book of Velvet 33 rank of princely precedence and is listed in the V part (titled Nobility) nobiliary records.
