Coat-of-arms of the Lords of Krumlov
The coat-of arms of the
Lords of Krumlov was a green five-petalled rose with a golden
center in a silver field. The Lords of Krumlov were one of the
family branches of a Czech family, the Vítkovci. The five-petalled
rose symbolises, according to an old emblem legend of splitting of
the
Vítkovci family, the five sons, among whom Vítek z Prčice
divided the family dominions. The symbol of a green five-petalled
rose was also used by the most significant member of the family of
Lords of Krumlov - Záviš
of Falkenštejn.
