The
following is a direct translation from the classical genealogical
and heraldic reference "Herbarz Polski" by Kasper
Niesiecki, S. J., Lipsk edition, 1839-1846. Translated by William F.
Hoffman.
A white cross, on the ends of which are
four black lilies, i.e., one positioned on each arm: on the helm
are peacock feathers, and on them is a cross like that on the
shield. These arms were awarded in 1442 by Wladyslaw, King of
Poland and Hungary, to Jerzy Szwarc or Czarny, Councilman and
Townsman of Krakow, but other Szwarces admitted to Nowina arms
flourish in Poland to this day as Czernys.
