 Her parents were Boyar Roman Yurievich Zakharyin, Okolnichi, who died on 16 February 1543, who gave his name to the Romanov dynasty of Russian monarchs, and Uliana Ivanovna, who died in 1579.Anastasia was the second daughter of the boyar Roman Yurievich Zakharyin-Yuriev, who served as Okolnichy under the reign of Grand Prince Vasily III.The house of Zakharyin-Yuriev was a minor branch of a noble house, that had already been at court, so it's possible that Ivan met Anastasia before the bride show, though no records of that exist.
