1493 Mikhail began to serve Ivan III with his brothers Semyon and Dmitrii. All
three became boyars at the Moscow court. In 1534 the boyar Ivan Vorotinski, son
of prince Mikhail Fedorovich was exiled out of the boyar government and his
udel went to three sons, Vladimir, Mikhail and Aleksandr. The boyar Vladimir
Ivanovich died in 1556 without children. In 1562 Mikhail and Aleksandr together
with their wives and children were exiled by Ivan IV who took to himself their
holdings in the Vorotinski udel. Aleksandr was pardoned but soon died. In 1566
Mikhail was pardoned. In 1573 he was executed with Nikita Romanovich Odoyevski
and the Vorotinski udel was completely liquidated. But the Vorotinski family
didn't die out until 1679.
