[edit] History
There was a knight of Korczak, from the land of Prus. When he died, he was remembered as a worthy man, and left two sons. One who was sonless with only one daughter, and suitors were pressuring him not so much for the daughter's wealth, which belonged to her father, but for her beauty. The father refused.
The daughter and her uncle were married. Her father snatched his brother and killed him, and said that it wasn’t his right to take care of his daughter while her father was still alive. The mother of the bride died of grief, and he squared off with his nephews after head of died father, cached the ageless sign that the men convicted him to use the black areas in the coat of arms.
