The
following is a direct translation from the classical genealogical
and heraldic reference "Herbarz Polski" by Kasper
Niesiecki, S. J., Lipsk edition, 1839-1846.
Neither Paprocki nor Okolski wrote of these arms. A stag of its
own color on a red field, its head facing the right, as if lying
down, but its foreleg a little raised and the other legs still
folded, and on the helm and crown are five white ostrich
feathers. These arms were brought from England to Poland, and
there is proof of this; for our Ks. Petrasancta cap. 54 fol.
365 affirms that the Hartulliuses in the Kingdom of Great
Britain use such a stag as is here described, only on a silver
shield. Here in Poland the Destrahans use this emblem, of which
you will read in the proper place. |
