Dorivan Dansyre (4 May 1621 - 16 December 1689), also known as Dorivan Ansyri, was a Basaqastanian statesman who served as the Chancellor of the Santian Empire between 1664 and 1678. He is best known as the initiator and namesake of the Dansyri Inquisition, an attempt by the Santian monarchy to restrict the political and intellectual autonomy of religious institutions in Basaqastan and wider Promeridona, which contributed to the development of the longstanding Basaqastanian religious consensus. From 1662, he was known by the title Prince of Ansyre.

Early life

Dorivan Dansyre was born in 1621, the eldest child of the soldier Tano Dansyre and his wife, Sorin di Tasare. He was a member of the House of Ansyre, a minor landowning family in the Jamate of Ansyre, Farstan, named for its principal town, Bene Ansyre. As a minor asago, Tano Dansyre served in the standing army of the Santian Empire as a cavalry officer, gaining recognition after fighting with King Artasero V in the early stages of the Third Vidamite War, for which he received the fourth rank of nobility. Like many Farstani asagi, Tano Dansyre began to style himself with the Santian form 'Dansyre' rather than the Basaqese form 'Ansyri', after entering military service.
