| Bradacice herb |
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.
There are two axes forming a cross with
the handles on the bottom, the heads on top, their backs opposite
each other, and their blades directed one toward the right and
one toward the left, on a blue field; on the helm are three
ostrich feathers. Okolski, tomo 1. fol. 70. Paprocki o herb.
Inasmuch as there neither is nor has been any house in Poland
which used these arms, I mention them here only because some call
them Brodacice, others Bradczyce, and others still Bratczyc.
