Everything about Jelita Coat Of Arms totally explained
Jelita - is a
Polish Coat of Arms. It was used by several
szlachta families in the times of the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
History
This coat of arms was granted by King
Władysław Łokietek to a peasant soldier (and his family) after the
Battle of Płowce (
1331) in which the Polish armies defeated the 40,000-strong force of the
Teutonic Knights with minimal casualties.
Legend says that the man fought with great courage and only fell in battle when pierced by three spears in the abdominal region which caused his bowels to fall out. Shortly before death the King ennobled the fatally wounded man. Hence the three crossed spears in the coat of arms as well as the name Jelita - Bowels or Guts.
Additionally, the Polish medieval chronicler, diplomat and solider
Jan Dlugosz referred to those bearing the Jelita coat of arms as "a clan born in Poland of men who are modestly devoted to dogs and hunting."
