The
following is a direct translation from the classical genealogical
and heraldic reference "Herbarz Polski" by Kasper
Niesiecki, S. J., Lipsk edition, 1839-1846.
There are two handguards, such as are used in Bohemia, in the
form of the letter "S," put together as a cross on a
red field, and on the helm are three ostrich feathers. In fact,
this is the Korsak coat of arms. These arms were granted to one
of our compatriots on an occasion (as Paprocki says) when he
acquitted himself manfully in a battle with the Czechs; others
say that the arms were brought to Poland from Bohemia. The
Bronickis near Olyka in Volhynia use these arms. I have not read
more about them. Paprocki, Gniazdo, fol. 1131, 0
herbach, fol. 678. Okolski, Vol. 1, fol. 92. Liber Klejn,
fol. 42. MS. P. Rutka.
[From Wieladko's Heraldyka]: Bronic - Ignacy of Bronic

province, signed the act of general confederation of the Grand
Duchy of Lithuania in 1764. Adam Bronic, Vehmgericht
