In the Heraldry, coats of arms are the names of persons who carry the same coat of arms. Conferring, inheritance, or just accepting were the possibility of leading an identical coat of arms.

Often, especially if not from the nobility, the coat of arms may not have any fiefs, in contrast to the feudal fief. The leadership of the coat of arms was made dependent on the knighthood. This meant that the comrade (co-worker) was born to shield and helmet, so noble. The knighthood had a significant influence on the tournaments. The chancery demanded exclusively for the evidence of examining the heraldry for the evidence of the knighthood and ancestral test which required the tournament's ability.

From the 16th century, more and more bourgeois coats of arms led to a rise in the number of co-workers.

In the Kingdom of Bohemia it was forbidden by law to be a coat of arms or, as it was also called, a coat of arms. Only the king could give his consent to the coat of arms.

Like many coats of arms, many families live in Poland as coats of arms. Edit source text
