The Rurikid dynasty was founded in 862 by Rurik, a Varangian prince. Genealogy profile for Rurik. ORIGINS: There is no clear evidence supporting Rurik's origins beyond the statement that he was a "varagian" (), but even the meaning of this word is unclear, he may have come from any of the Scandinavian or Baltic countries.This area of northern Europe was very fluid at the time with no clear definitions or national boundaries. Here are the last treasures that belonged to the Rurik princes and tsars. The scholarly consensus is that the Rus' people originated in what is currently coastal eastern Sweden around the eighth century and that their name has the same origin as Roslagen in Sweden (with the older name being Roden). The House of Plantagenet (/ p l æ n ˈ t æ dʒ ə n ɪ t /) was a royal house which originated from the lands of Anjou in France. The Rurik dynasty (or Rurikids) went on to rule the Kievan Rus', and ultimately the Tsardom of Russia, until 1598, and numerous noble Russian and Ruthenian families claim a male-line descent from Rurik.
