Shuisky

Shuisky (Шуйские) was a Rurikid family of boyars descending from Grand Dukes of Vladimir-Suzdal. They represented a senior line among the descendants of Alexander Nevsky and therefore treated the ruling princes of Muscovy with arrogance. They finally ascended the Russian throne in the person of Vasili IV of Russia. One branch of the family reportedly survives in Poland.
