Earliest mentioned member bearers (in order of precedence):[1] * House of Saszowski (historically equally written as Schaschowsky, Saschowsky et al.) arms Saszor; and its branch scions alias Palczowski and Gierałtowski (equally spelt Geraltowski) * House of Barski (equally Bardzki) * House of Chobienicki * Jorogniewski * Kełbowski (equally Kielbowski) arms Opala * Ligocki (equally Lgocki)
Orla is one of the oldest Polish coats of arms. The coat of arms was naturalised into Polish heraldry during the Jagiellonian dynasty; it is a derivative of its Roman-German origin-precursor attributed to the personal coat of arms borne by the House of Saszowski and its branch scions.[1]
The Polish Orla coat of arms was subsequently borne as well by several unrelated Polish knightly families and individuals connected by heraldic adoption at ennoblement,[1] and as frequently found with Polish coats of arms, by some supposed members misattributed to the heraldic clan by error or usurpation.
Blazon
Silver (Argent), an eagle displayed headless red (Gules), on the neck a star of six rays red (gules); N.B. the star, as well as the eagle claws, are often found represented (rightly or wrongly) as gold (Or) tincture in Polish heraldic literature.
