| Blacha Budwicz herb |
The
following article is a direct translation from the classic
genealogical and heraldic reference "Herharz Polski" by
Kasper Niesiecki SJ. Lipsk edition 1839-46. Translated by William F
Hoffman.
Paprocki and Okolski did not write about them. On
a while field an arrow between two lilies, i.e., with a lily on
either side, points straight up, and a second such arrow is seen
piercing the helm. I have read nowhere about the origins of these
arms; I have heard only that they were introduced to Poland from the
Czechs long ago. The Blachas use these arms as their seal; among
them Mikolaj, Wschowa cup-bearer, had three sons by Boszkowska,
Jedrzej Alexander, Jozef, and Jan.
