Chet (murza)

Chet (baptized as Zachary) was a murza of Golden Horde and is a legendary progenitor of number of Russian families among which are Godunov, Saburov, Zernov, Veliaminov, others. He also was a founder of the Ipatievsky Monastery.

According to a legend Chet received estates near Kostroma in 1330 during the reign of Ivan I of Moscow and was baptized as Zachary. He also had a vision of Virgin Mary with prestanding Philip the Apostle and hieromartyr Hypatius of Gangra, which resulted in his healing from sickness. In a gratitude for healing at that place was established Hypatian Monastery.

According to the Russian historian Stepan Veselovsky (1876-1952), the legend appeared only at the end of the 16th century and has serious chronological issues. The historian claims that Zachary clan is a native Kostroma clan. In his opinion Zachary lived in the second half of the 13th century and had a son Aleksandr (d. 1304). The first representative of the family who served the Moscow was a grandchild of Zachary, Dmitriy Aleksandrovich Zerno. Hypatian Monastery was founded at the end of the 13th century and originally was a hereditary monastery located in the Zachary's estates.
