The family of the Ostrogski princes were descendants of the Turov-Pinsk princes - the descendants of the Grand Duke of Kiev Svyatopolk (Mikhail) Izyaslavich (November 8, 1050 - April 16, 1113) from the Rurik dynasty. It is known that the princes Ostrogski and Sangushko were trustees of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, where many of them were buried.
