Zadora (Płomień, Płomienie, Płomieńczyk) is a Polish coat of arms which was used by many szlachta families in the former territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2]

History

[edit]

The earliest mentions of the coat of arms date back to the late 14th century. It was used in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania after the Union of Horodło.[3]

Blazon

[edit]

Within a blue field is the singular head of a silver lion facing left, with flames issued from its mouth. There is a silver helm, upon which a blue torse sits with blue and white mantling originating from it. Resting on the torse is a golden crown, crested with the similar head of the silver lion, with flames also issuing from its mouth.
