Pereswetoff-Morath

Pereswetoff-Morath [pɜre'sve:tof:mu'rɑ:t] , _ru. Пересвѣтовъ(-Муратъ), Swedish noble family of Russian origin (one of the so-called "bayor" families). Varyingly traced to the Blessed Alexander Peresvět of Radonež (d. 1380) and to a certain Vasilej Peresvět Ivanov in early-15th-century Dmitrov (NW of Moscow), the family, in the person of Murat Aleksěevič Peresvětov (d. 1640) from Rostov Velikij, entered Swedish service in 1613-14 during the Ingrian War. Throughout the 17th century, family members were mainly active in the Swedish province of Ingria, near the Russian border. Immatriculated in 1652 at the Swedish House of Nobility (Riddarhuset), it remained for three centuries a family of officers and lawyers. In 1919, on the death of Carl Fredrik Pereswetoff-Morath, the unbroken male line was discontinued. However, Carl Fredrik had an adopted son, Carl-Magnus (1896–1975), the biological son of Magnus Dahlqvist (d. 1895) and Ida Pereswetoff-Morath in their marriage, and thus second (and third) cousin once removed of his adoptive father. All living family members are descendants of lieutenant-colonel Carl-Magnus Pereswetoff-Morath; the surviving line is not represented at the House of Nobility. Among notable members are Colonel Alexander Pereswetoff-Morath (originally Alexander Moraht Pereswetoff, d. 1687), commandant of Nyenskans (Ingria), and his son, General Carl Pereswetoff-Morath, 1665-1736, active with his two brothers on the Baltic front in the Great Northern War (prisoner of war in Moscow 1704-21).

The 16th-century Muscovite publicist Ivan Semënovič Peresvětov is believed to have belonged to another, west Russian, family.
