Lewart is a
medieval
clan assumed this coat of arms, as well as those legally adopted into the clan.
History
- Duke Casimir II the Just (High Duke of Poland from 1177 to 1194) initially established the clan in the 12th century.[1]
- The coat of arms was bestowed upon its first bearer for a feat of great bravery whilst holding off a superior force in both strength and number. This caused the bestower, King Władysław Łokietek(reigned 1320-1333), to remark that a leopard, if pushed, can defend itself from a lion.
- Its origins are German (frankońskie). The first known judicial record (Wali-ears) originates from 1417 (Z. Dunin-Kozicki, Inscriptiones clenodiales, p. 35).[2]
( Illogical reference from the time AFTER the first mentioning of the surname. Please remove this. )
