Coat of arms

Korwin-Szymanowski (Polish plural: Korwin-Szymanowscy) was a Polish noble family.

In the beginning the Korwin-Szymanowski used the Jezierza[1] coat of arms, then, around 1620, starting using the Ślepowron [2] coast of arms. The family came from the Mazovia Duke and are connected with Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth history.

History

The first information about the family came from the 15th century (1457).[3] In this year the Knight Jon came back from the The Thirteen Years' War, also called the War of the Cities, which was a conflict that was fought in 1454–66 between the Prussian Confederation, allied with the Kingdom of Poland, and the State of the Teutonic Order, to a small village - Szymanów. He is considered to be a founder of the family. Jon came from a heraldic family with the coat of arms of Jezierza, which has its beginnings from pre-Christian tribal warriors.[4]

In the 19th century the members of the family added Korwin to their name.

The family of Korwin-Szymanowscy still exists under this surname.[5]
