[edit] Blazons of Hungarian and Polish armory

For the record, I have quoted the Hungarian blazons in Hungarian as they appear in Nyulászi-Straub's book. The translations are my own, based on the color reproductions which accompany the text and the German parallel text. The Hungarian word for sable is fekete, and the German text uses schwarz(en), so I can be certain these arms do not have tarnished sable (as some of the other apparently sable arms in the volume do).

As for the blazons from Szymański, I have quoted his English blazons as given in the text. He provides both Polish and English blazons, and since the English may be quoted directly from the source material, I see no need to burden the article with the Polish (since most readers will be looking only for the English anyway). --EncycloPetey 00:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
