"The last of Vladimir's male-line descendants died in 1521..." i believe this fact should be verified.

Borowski h.Gozdawa
According to the lithuanian metric, and two polish nobility books both from the 19th century, one from 1904 the line of the Princes Borowski h.Gozdawa were descended from Vladimir the Bold Pr. of Borovsk and Serpukhov! they did not die out in 1521. they only were made forgotten for the last of the fleeing princes annexed his lands into Lithuania and were removed from the muscovite and russian inheritance cycle due to the continuous persecution by the ruling house of Ivan. The fact that there was a surviving prince that fled to lithuania is a miracle itself. and later into the Polish-Lithuanian Crown. in the 16th century they served as Bailifs on behalf of the king of poland in Samogitia,(Zmudz).

in russian wikipedia: under the value: Иван Васильевич (княжич боровский) Иоанн Васильевич — княжич боровский, сын князя боровского Василия Ярославича.

После заточения последнего в 1456 бежал в Литву и умер на чужбине до 1494. Из документов «Литовской метрики» видно, что у него было потомство: так, известны князь Юрий Боровский, бывший коршевским тиуном, и князь Николай Боровский, подстолий жмудский, участвовавший в литовском и московском походах Сигизмунда III.

(google translation of the above): John V (Ivan Vasilievich). - prince Borovsky, son of Vasili Yaroslavich.

Following the imprisonment of the latter in 1456 fled to Lithuania and died in exile until 1494. From the documents, "the Lithuanian metric" shows that he had offspring: for example, are known Prince Yuri Borovsky, former korshevskim Chiune, and Prince Nicholas Borowski, podstoly zhmudsky who participated in the Lithuanian and the Moscow campaign of Sigismund III.

--- to support this i bring citation from later polish sources:

from the book: RODZINA - Herbarz szlachty polskiej Herbarze - Opracowany przez Seweryna Hrabiego Uruskiego, przy współudziale Adama Amilkara Kosińskiego Tom I, Wa-wa 1904 str. 336 '''BOROWSKI h. GOZDAWA. Książęta i szlachta. Protoplastą tej rodziny ma być Andrzej, trzeci syn wielkiego księcia Moskiewskiego, Jana Daniłowicza Kality; ten Andrzej od swego udziału miasta Borowska, w dzisiejszej guberni kałuskiej, pisał się księciem Borowskim, jego syn Włodzimierz należał do wyprawy wielkiego księcia Dymitra na Don, i zostawił siedmiu synów, z których Jarosław pozostawił syna Wasila i córkę zaślubioną Bazylemu, wielkiemu księciu Moskiewskiemu, i od owego Wasila wywodzi się rodzina Borowskich na Żmudzi, herbu Gozdawa (w XVII stoleciu używali także herbu Abdank). Do XVII wieku Borowscy nosili tytuł książąt (kniaziów) i ten był im dawany nawet w aktach urzędowych, jak w Metryce Litewskiej z 1528 r., nie byli jednak nigdy zamożni, a nawet niektórzy z nich zeszli na szlachtę zagrodową. Ks. Bartłomiej cytowany w Metr. Litew. 1528 r. N. Ożeniony z Bazylisą Łopatyńską 1550 r. Ks. Jerzy, ciwen korszewski 1563 r., został kuchmistrzem litewskim 1569 roku i tegoż roku umarł, z żony Barbary Jurłówny pozostawił syna Lwa i córkę Helenę, żonę Heronima Kwileckiego. Ks. Lew miał synów: Mikołaja, podstolego żmudzkiego 1618 r. i Michała, ciwuna korszewskiego 1590 r. Ks. Marcin, podleśniczy wilkijski 1622 r. Ks. Stefan, na Białej Rusi, kilkanaście lat zostawał w niewoli (Vol. Leg. Z r. 1677). Mikołaj i Adam na Białej Rusi podpisali elekcyę 1697 r. Potomstwo Andrzeja i Szymona, synów Michała, wnuków Michała, prawnuków Aleksandra ,osób kilkadziesiąt, w 1848-1857 r. wylegitymowane w Cesarstwie i zapisane do ksiąg szlachty gub. kowieńskiej.''' --- (it states that until as late as XVII century they held the title Knyaz in the commonwealth) their offsprings were delegitimsed from the Szlachta under the Imperial russian occupation between the years 1848-1857. this act was registerd in the books of szlachta gub, Kowienskiej.

-- source 2: HERBARZ POLSKI, Kaspra Niesieckiego S. J. Herbarze Tom II, Lipsk 1839 Str. 246: "BOROWSKI herbu Gozdawa. Kojałowicz in MS. Pisze że są Borowscy Kniaziowie w ksieztwie Żmudzkiem. Z tych Leo Borowski, którego syn Mikołaj 1621. - Adam i Rafał na Żmudzi 1648. roku."

Niesicki himself cites an older source "Kolajowicz in MS" - translation:

BOROWSKI Gozdawa coat. Kojałowicz in MS. He writes that the princes are Borowskis ksieztwie Samogitian. For the Leo Borowski, whose son Nicholas 1621. - Adam and Raphael in Jmud 1648. year.

as far as we can understand the two sources refer to the same princes. thats indeed later than 1521. actualy few russian web sites state that this family is among the rurikid families that survived the Bolshevik revolution.

--

there indeed are inconsistencies among the polish nobility sources. some changed the name of Borowski to Bobrowski but state the same or similar lineages as princely and under the same coat of arms. which in my belief is a work of elements of polish nobility which was not allowed to carry the title of Knyaz. (the exception was only for the ancient families that annexed to poland through the Horodno union from Lithuania) all the later polish princely families did not have a princely title issued by any king of poland. only titles given to them by SIR. since Borowski is one of the most branched noble families of poland (20-23 different branches with different coat of arms). the most of them of non Rurikid stock and of more ancient origins (mostly originating from Lithuania aswell). the numerous people named Borowski with the title of Knyaz in the 16th and 17th century) might have been the reason of the original abolishment of the title for them. since they were not wealthy and all the original lands passed to the hands of the crown. the title was absolutely a honorary title they inherited and were allowed to carry until later days. the last delegitimation was done by the occupying romanov tzar in 1840-1860 where numerous magnate and ancient polish noble families were de-legitimised aswell among them even the famous Sapieha families! this was a clear political act on behalf the interests of the later house of romanov, as it is quite known historicaly that their claims over russia were quite shaky. and many of those families might have become into a threat with their ancestral rights. they became de-legitimate in the russian held polish kingdom. in my opinion since none of the fleeding princes ever signed that they withdraw from their right to inherit. most of them were persecuted and executed back in the muscovite days. - this specific case is one of those who survived. -
