Czech invasion
RAWICZE - Polish heraldic heroes came to Poland in the 12th century from the Czech Republic. The history of the family dates back to quite distant times, deriving from the mighty Czech family We (a) Russians, whose history deepens in the history of Europe falls.
This family is (is sealed) to the RAWICZ coat of arms, it should be added that this coat originated in Western Europe and from quite distant.
On the shield in the golden field the bride in a red dress with dissolved hair in a golden crown and with arms folded on a rolling black bear. In the gem on the helmet in the crown a half black bear climbed with a red rose in the paw, between the corners of the deer. Labry red with gold .
RAW ... originating from the Czech tribe, where they are called the Writers; Because of the crimes of culpability, they were cut off from their pride by princes of Czechoslovakia, with the exception of the few who went to Poland and grew up in a great family. Husbands are strict, fearless and cruel, and some are inclined to shed blood, despising dangers. 
Heraldry insists that this coat of arms is from England, where the king of this country died leaving his son and daughter, who in his inheritance had written all his treasures. The son, after taking over the father of the kingdom, anticipating the marriage of his sister abroad and the associated loss of treasure, ordered his sister to throw in a dungeon with a starving bear. But this did not hurt the girl. After getting used to it, he sat down on his back and exhaled from the dungeon. Seeing this the king and brother apologized to her sister and in time he married her for the Prince of Lorraine.
To commemorate these events their children were given this coat of arms. Their descendants spread throughout the world, including the Czech Republic and from there to Poland.
The following legend further relates to events in the Czech Republic:
Wawrzyniec Lorek, God's name, from the Ruthie's family, from Brzetysława, a Czech prince, was offended that he had killed his entire family in his own country, and killed him when Borzywoj's brother, his Bohemian father, gave birth to a murderer. Ataoli Swiatopoulos, the prince of Czechoslovakia in 1108 Mutiny and his two sons, God and Borshak, also Unisław and Domisława, all of them Rawicz were, to kill, ordered what horrified the second home of the family to Poland came out; Boleslaw Krzywousty, the king of Poland, took advantage of them, and in their good in the voivodeship of the voivodeship he saw where many of the castles and towns had flew and their families were unleashed in this country. 
So many legends, which, though perhaps richly colored, contain, in their content, far echoes of real events. Once upon a lack of media in today's sense, the story was passed down from generation to generation.
They are also echoes of past beliefs. The fact is that in the former Poland people believed in the existence of descendants of people and bears, as is clearly stated by the legend of the Raws, or Ursovic (Niedzwiedzice), and what was tried in the 15th century to rationalize, instead of Ursovici reading Vrsowici and deriving in this way Rawicz from the Revelers.
A half-bear with a rose in the paw, is in a sense an allusion to the alleged kinship of Rawicz with Czech Vitkovs and the Italian Orsinis (Ursini - Orsini), which seems far too far.
The most important element of this coat is the bear. This animal played an important role not only in legends and stories but also in religious beliefs. It symbolizes power, strength, power and rigor in battle. The ancients maintained that the bear was unborn in the world. By licking them, they gave them proper shapes. Woe to those who try to steal the little bear. For this reason, it symbolizes the power of caring, dangerous for the enemy, but useful for the protected.
Another element of the coat of arms is the bride. It is a symbol of service to a lady. It is also a symbol of love, beauty and tenderness.
The third element of this coat is the signal of a rose. It is a flower with rich symbolism. In general, beauty means honesty, joy, courtesy love for your heart, silence and discretion. Red rose embodies love, sensuality and lust. In England and Germany it is the emblem of the dynastic families (Duke of Lippe - Germany and Lancaster - England). The number of her petals also has a specific symbolism. In the case of the Rawicz coat, there is a four-petal rose. This means a pilgrimage, a spiritual journey to perfection.
As it turns out, our forefathers were already well versed in various beliefs, whose long echoes survived, among other things, in the heraldry.
Of course, the above is also true if it refers to the truthfulness of beliefs, but it is also not a question of the fact that true Revelers protects Poland, giving rise to many excellent Polish families.
When referring to Rawicz and writing their characteristics, Jan Długosz probably somewhat generalized, referring to contemporary representatives of this family, among others: Łukasz Słupecki, Jakub Snopkowski and Piotr Grot, who did not glorify themselves in the history of the family. Rawicz was also the Kochan, courtier of Casimir the Great, who ordered his drowning of Baryczka.
The above characteristics do not have much in common with one of the most prominent representatives of this family - Goworkiem, the guardian of Leszek Biała, the Sandomierz governor and the castellan of Cracow. The Rawicz family set up a banner under Grunwald, which led to the battle of Krystyn from Ostrów Castle of Cracow.
RAWICZ is one of the oldest Polish Coat of Arms since the fourteenth century, the great Czech nobles, whose civil wars in the twelfth century forced them to leave their homeland and take refuge in Poland during the reign of King Bolesław Krzywousty. Having settled on the Rawa River, they gained a great significance, and their representatives held many important earth offices.
Initially, Rawicze used the emblem of the two stamps of the Kraków castellan Warsza woven on documents from the thirteenth century, kept in the archives of the Cistercian monastery in Mogile near Krakow.
In the 14th century they adopted a coat of arms shaped in a Western European way, depicting a princess sitting on a bear.
This coat of arms has come in many forms and is known for its more than ten varieties.
The original name Rawa was changed only in the 16th century and since then RAWICZ form has been in common use.
The oldest stamp with the image of this coat of arms comes from 1306, and the oldest preserved seal imprinted with this coat of arms is the sign of Jan Grot, Bishop of Cracow from 1334, also kept in the Cistercian monastery in Mogile. Then it is worth mentioning the seal of Jacob's son Gta, land judge of Sandomierz in 1353, Krystyna from Ostrów, the mayor of Queen Jadwiga from 1387, Marcin Kosinski, called Mancynem (Męcin) Lviv governor from 1394, Jan Ostrowski, canonic sandomierski from 1594, Piotr Dębiński, Land Judge of Cracow from Piotrkowice near Busko in 1559, Warsza from Ostrów castellan from 1438, Mikołaj Bishop of Kamieniec from 1466 and 1468, and Grotto from Ostrów subcommune from Lublin in 1468.
The oldest documentary record is a court note from 1394 and retained in the court records of Łęczyca.
By the act of the Union of Horodels, this coat of arms was transferred to Lithuania. The Rawicz family was then represented by Krystyn from Ostrów castellan of Cracow and Grot from Jankowice. To this family was adopted castellan Vilnius Minigayle and his brother Gives us.
The image of the coat of arms is presented in "Jewels (" Insignia ... ") by Jan Długosz, Ambrose's" Herb "," Golden Fleece "and" Codex Bergshammar ".
It is also presented on sculptures, among others. a jumper in Wiślica made in the years 1370-1380 and located in the Cathedral of Krakow and coming from the first half of the fourteenth century.
RAWA (and its derivatives: Myedoshy - 1425, Myedozoda - 1481, Niecevadea - 1451, Nycevoda - 1480) - is a name and a name with a reference in the name of the person (male name), also topographical (name of the mountain stream).
This coat was most common in the land of Cracow and Sandomierz. There are more than 250 families,
There is no doubt that the most remote Protestants of the Ravens are descended from Western Europe, bringing with it the traditions of the medieval European knights, as evidenced by the previously quoted heraldry.
All Rawicze are descended from the Czech dynasties, the princes of Versailles, the rulers of the Łuczan tribe, whose area together with the Werszowice castle was situated north of Prague and bordered on the territory of the Polish state.
In the 9th and 10th centuries the two most powerful noble families competed in the Czech Republic:
1. The Slavs, princes of Libica, who occupied an area equal to one fifth of the territory of the then Czech Republic,
2. The Rexers, who, although occupying a slightly smaller area, were, however, much more powerful and more powerful due to their population.
From the ancient times between these two families, various shocks broke out, which on 25.09.996 led to bloody countermeasures, which in consequence led to the almost complete extermination of the Slavic family and the demolition of their Libicy.
Only a few representatives of this family managed to escape to Poland and save their lives. By the name of one of them - Poraja - so called all rescued populations, today belong to Poraj coat of arms.
For the unification of the tribal peoples of the Czech Republic, the important obstacle to the implementation of this project was the family of the Reichs. The skilled policy of the Czech rulers, who exploited the growing hatred of the Reichs growing up in the Czech Republic, especially after the expulsion of St. Wojciech - also from the Slavnik family - led almost to the complete extinction of this family.
On 26.10.1108, during the reign of the Czechoslovak Republic, there was a pogrom of the Reichs. Werszowice castle and other castles were demolished, and the starost of this family of Prince Kochana was murdered. Only a few Revelers: Warszawa, Prandota, Grot, Goworek and Lasota, managed to escape to Poland, where they were well received and mostly in the Rawa land received significant royal, becoming in time one of the more influential and politically important Polish families.
Referring to the name of the local river and the capital of this land, Rawa - so named their coat of arms, which they renamed from Ursyn (Niedzwiady) to Rawa. In later centuries the name of this coat of arms was established in the form of RAWICZ.
In the Ravenland there are numerous noble families, including 31 of them belonging to the Rawicz coat of arms: Bilanowskich from Skarbek Wola, Bogucians from Boguszyc, Celgowski from Celgów, Czechowska from Chekhov, Górskie from Góra, Grotowski from Gutkowski from Gutkowice, Jasieńskie from Jasień, Jezierskie from Jeziorka, Kłopockie from Kłopoczna, Krasowskie from Krasow, Lipieńskich from Lipiny, Nadolskich from Nadolna, Podkoniek from Podkonice and Wola Podkonska, Pukinski from Pukinin, Rokickie from Rokitnica, Rosockie from Rosochy, Słupeckie from Słupczy - Tomaszków, Stolnickie from Stolnik, Suliszewskie from Suliszewo, Szczuckie from Szczuk Wielkie, Trzcińskich from Trzciany, Tworzyjonskie from Tworzyjanka, Węgrzynowskie from Węgrzynowice, Wierzbieńskich from Wierzbno and Śmilowa Wola, Wilkowskie from Wilkowice, Wolofy from Wolków, Zaborowskie from Zaborz, Zaleskie from Zaborz. Zalesia, Żelazów z Żelaznej i Żelichnińskie from Żelichnina.
Due to the progressive degradation and the growing number of people within a single name, many of the Ravenites carried various nicknames, including: Bogut, Clupka, Chudzich, Fridrich, Golak, Grot, Goworek, Grzymek, Kocielnik, Kozak, Męcina, Miłiszek, Piotraszowicz, Prandota, Nature, Ruglowicz, Sądek, Sędzich, Sepel, Warszewic, Wietrzych, Wilk and Wronk.
Some of these nicknames have been established as surnames such as Prandota, Goworek, Grot, Warszewic and others.
As can be seen from the above, a serious percentage of Czech Reunioners settled in Rawais. Many others were offered in Cracow and Sandomierz, though not only. In Grójec, 11 families were named: Brzumiński from Brzumina - Wylezina in par. Rembertów, gm. Tarczyn, Gośniewski from Gośniewic - Ołdaków in par. Jasieniec, gm. Jasieniec, Grotowski from Grotowic in par. Żlad, gm. New Town n / Pilica, Grzegorzewskiz Grzegorzewic in par. Sold out, gm. Żabia Wola, Koziełkowski from Goat in par. Łęczeszyce, gm. Belsk Duży, Nossowski from Nossów in par. Tarczyn, gm. Tarczyn, Nowomiejski from New Town n / Pilica, gm. Nowe Miasto n / Pilica, Raciborski from Brzumina - Racibors in par. Rembertów, gm. Tarczyn, Rokicki from Rokytnice Wielka in par. Żdżary, gm. New Town n / Pilica, Wyssota (Wyszota) from Lisowa - Wyssotów in par. Przybyszew iZaborowski from Zaborza in par. Mistakes. gm. Mistakes.
Of the above. families are most important to the Newcomer. They were the descendants of the Ravenites of Iron, later the heirs of the village of Pobiednia. One of them - the Grot from Pobiedni - was granted the privilege of the Mazovian prince Siemowit IV from 1400, granted to him by the city of Rawa Mazowiecka. From that name his descendants adopted the name in adjective form.
Representatives of other families, though not achieved such as Newcomer honors, and many offices and military service home, also glorified today

Representatives of other families, though not achieved such as Newcomer honors, and performing many offices and serving military country, also glorified themselves in the history of the state.
Rawicz - as the result of the above - is an old, great and mighty family. Coming through the centuries with many others in Grójec and beyond, they have had a profound effect on the development and perception of the region.
