Pro Fide, Lege et Rege (Latin: For Faith, Law and King) was an 18th century motto of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and then of Poland. It superseded the earlier Si Deus Nobiscum quis contra nos (Latin: If God is with us, then who is against us) and was featured on a variety of buildings, military decorations and equipment. It remains the motto of the Order of the White Eagle, as well as of the Polish monarchists.
