Rogala coat of arms

Rogala is a Polish coat of arms, likely based upon armorial bearings imported from Northeastern Germany to Poland around 1109, by members of the von Bibersztein family (whose arms feature a 5-tined stag's horn). Polish descendants of this family later added a second horn, that of the Urus or European Bison, to create the Rogala arms. It was used by numerous szlachta families in the time of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

History

Blazon

Heraldist Kasper Niesiecki describes it as white with a red deer horn, and red with a white bull horn. The horns' place is swapped on the helmet.
