Mikhail Andreyevich Galitzine

Prince Mikhail Andreyevich Galitzine (1639–1687) was governor of Pskov.

He was born in early 1639. His parents were Eufemia Yurievna Piliamova-Saburova and her husband, prince Andrey Andreyevich Galitzine, governor of Sibiria and voivode of Tobolsk, who died in late 1638, before the birth of his son. Andrey's father was prince Antrei Iivananpoika Golitsin, an earlier governor of Pskov territory.^[1]

Galitzine belonged to a princely lineage which long held lands and high positions in the regions of Pskov, Ingria, the republic of Veliki Novgorod, and other provinces.

Since 1682, Mikhail Andreyevich Galitzine was governor of Pskov territory.^[2]

One of his sons was field marshal Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Galitzine, who was commander-in-chief of the occupation forces in Finland during the Great Northern War, between 1714 and 1721.
