Introduction

Sas(Polish Sas) - the Russo-Voloshsky and Polish gentry coat of arms, known in Chervona Rus since the middle of the 13th century. The initial form of "Drag - Sas". It is believed that the coat of arms came to the Hungarian, Polish and other lands during the period of the resettlement of the "Volokhovs". Today it is impossible to know the origin of the word Sas. One of the hypotheses says that the name was formed from a battle cry, or from the name of Marmarosh (the name of the region in Transcarpathia) voivode Sasa (1354-1358), the son of the Hungarian governor in Marmarosh voivode Dragos, whose descendants after 1359 moved to the kingdom of Rus and gave rise to many Ruthenian (Russian, or Ukrainian) and Polish gentry families. In Polish, this word literally means "Saxon" and some researchers associate the name of the coat of arms with the German-Saxon population of Semigradya - Transylvania. From here, Drag - Sas can be read as friends of the Saxons (Drag - friend, dear, beloved). According to another, not very common version, the word Sas (Hungarian - szasz ), translates as "eagle". The Saxons of Transylvania are also known under the name - "Sekei" (another transformation of the name "Sax"). Transylvania at that time was part of the Kingdom of Hungary, in the Chervono Russian lands, the Hungarians were called "Ugrians". For this reason, the newcomers from Transylvania "Volokhovs" were often called "Ugrians". The most preliminary mentions: On the Polish lands associated with the Volosh clans (primarily with the Drag-Sas clan) - among several hundred families sealed with the Sas coat of arms, the most were immigrants from Moldova, Volosha and Semigradya, settled back in the 13th century, and maybe even in XII century, in Galician Rus. These resettlements were, among other things, a test of creating a system of protection against Tatar invasions. The first data on the coat of arms of Sas as the coat of arms of Poland dates back to 1253. In 1262, Drohomireccy (Drohomireccy) of the Sas coat of arms, originating from Russia, were recorded. The ancient family of Drag - Sas came to Galicia at the invitation of Prince Daniel of Galicia. In 1236, in the Carpathians, a detachment of knights joined Daniil's retinue, led by Prince Guyd from Maromorosh, on the detachment's flag there was an arrow sign - the coat of arms "Drag - Sas", for great military merits, Guyd received a large land grant and married the widow of Daniel's brother, It is believed that this is how the first centers of the gentry of the Drag-Sas clan appeared in Galicia. Over the next decades, the following clans were formed: Danilovich, Dragomiretsky, Tatomirov and Knyagenitsky. The Hungarian branch of the Drag clan - Sas (Dragffi) achieves political success on the western slopes of the Carpathians and eventually become the actual rulers of Maramorosh and neighboring Satmaru and Ugocha. The territory of the clan stretched from the Carpathians to Slovenia. Representatives of this family - the Maramuresh governors, the brothers Drag and Balk (Balitsa) patronized one of the most ancient Orthodox monasteries in Ukraine - the Grushevsky monastery. Drag died in 1402, Balk in 1404. The sons of the voivode Balk, Dmitry and Alexander, by a letter dated 1404, written in Church Slavonic, presented the monastery with one estate and three villages with a mill: Grushevo, Krivoy, Teresva with fields, forests and waters, as the document says "with all vestiges". But in 1556, the Prince of Transylvania, Stefan Batory, transferred the monastery to the Mukachevo diocese. Later, according to various sources, in 1657, 1670 or 1690, the monastery was destroyed by the Catholics. Most of the families of the coat of arms of Sas on the lands of Chervona Rus, this is mainly the Eastern Galician provincial gentry. A vivid example of the settlement is the arrival of the voivode Stefan Voloshin in Chervona Rus, who takes the nickname Rybotitsky here in 1366. , from the name of the town Rybotyche, and in 1368 he received the count title "Hungarian" or "Ugr" from the Polish king Casimir III. The Ukrainian historian O. Odnorezhko believes that there are no sufficient grounds to consider all the Russian coats of arms of the 15th century, in which there are figures of an arrow, a crescent and stars, as a modification of the coat of arms of Sas. Until the middle of the 16th century, this coat of arms served only as a family coat of arms of one clan, the Rybotytskys and, accordingly, their closest relatives, the families that appeared in the 15th century: Berestyansky, Biskovskaya, Volosetsky, Bukhovsky, Gubitsky and some others, having a common origin from Count Stefan of the Rybotitsky coat of arms Sas . In 1431, Count Vanchaluh received land in the Turkov region. After a short period of time, they appear from the main surname of the Turchanskys: Yavorsky, Ilnitsky, Komarnitsky and Turyansky. At the beginning of the XV century. clans have already formed: Balitsky, Goshevsky, Didushitsky, Delyatinsky, Lutsky, Novoseletsky, Podgorodetsky, Tchaikovsky and others. Similarly, in the 16th century. appear: Bachinsky, Bilinsky, Vinnitsa, Gordynsky, Zhurakovsky, Kobylyansky, Kropivnitsky, Sasy, Tarnavsky, Terletsky, Yasinsky and a number of others. The general principle for the emergence of new surnames was that they were all taken from the names of the places where the first representatives of the new surname settled.

2. Description of the coat of arms

Coat of arms of Sas I

There are many variants of writing the coat of arms, but 9 are considered the main ones: SasI, II, III, IV, V, VI, Sas albo Ksiezys, Sas Baron, Sas Pruski. In the red field (Cas II), in the blue field (Cas I) there is a silver crescent, with horns turned upwards and having a golden hexagonal star at the ends, and an arrow flies upward from its middle. Above the helmet are seven peacock feathers - a peacock tail pierced by an arrow to the left. Geb Sas II, was used by persons of royal blood and the highest aristocracy, the coat of arms of Sas I, was used by a simple aristocracy - the gentry. Judging by the figure on the shield, the family distinguished themselves in the fight against the Muslims, in one of the first crusades. This emblem was known and respected among the knights of Europe, especially among the French knights. The coat of arms contains the image of the margrave crown, which corresponds to the ducal title, which indicates that there were persons of this dignity in the family. The very first of them was Dragos Voda, the governor from Maramures, with whose name the tradition connects the emergence of the Moldavian state. He ruled for two years from 1351 to 1353 and was margrave, being a vassal of the Hungarian king. The existence of the coat of arms went through two stages. At the first stage of the existence of the coat of arms of Sas, persons no lower than baronial dignity belonged to it. Over time, the coat of arms began to belong to a simple gentry. Crescent in the coat of arms symbolizes hope, great praise, success and loyalty, was borrowed from the Saracens, during the "Crusades." Star- striving for a goal, is an attribute of freedom, inspiration, ambition, is considered a symbol inherited from the Saxons. Arrow in the coat of arms, Sas means someone who, without hesitation, took part in the battle, regardless of what his finale, military readiness, speed will be. According to one version of scientists, this coat of arms was originally used in Saxony, then in Hungary, and from the 13th century - in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Russian and Zhymoytsky and the Kingdom of Poland, especially in the Ruskom voivodeship. Even before the conquest of the Kingdom of Galicia by the Polish King Casimir III, in Chervona Rus there were already clans of the Sas coat of arms, after the conquest on these lands, during the resettlement of the Volokhi, there were more of them than representatives of other coats of arms.

The Hungarian branch of the Drag - Sas (Dragffy) clan achieves political success on the western slopes of the Carpathians and eventually becomes the actual rulers of Maramorosh and neighboring Satmaru and Ugocha. The territory of the clan stretched from the Carpathians to Slovenia. Representatives of this clan - the Maramuresh governors, the brothers Drag and Balk (Balitsa) patronized one of the most ancient Orthodox monasteries in Russia - the Grushevsky monastery. Drag died in 1402, Balk in 1404. The sons of the voivode Balka - Dmitry and Alexander, by a letter of 1404, written in Church Slavonic, presented the monastery with one estate and three villages with a mill: Hrushevo (Zakarpattia region) , Curve (Transcarpathian region), Teresva with fields, forests and waters, as the document says, "with all the living things." But in 1556 the prince of Transylvania Stefan Batory handed over the monastery Mukachevo diocese. Later, according to various sources, in 1657, 1670 or 1690, the monastery was destroyed by the Catholics.

Most of the families of the Sas coat of arms in the lands of Chervona Rus are predominantly Eastern Galician provincial gentry. A striking example of settlement is the arrival in Red Rus voivode Stefan Voloshin, who receives a retired nickname Rybotitsky in 1366, from the name of the town of Rybotychi (now in Fredropolsk gmina, Poland), and in 1368 received from the Polish king Casimir III county title with the prefix - "Hungarian" or " Ugr". Ukrainian historian Oleg Odnorezhko believes that there are no sufficient grounds to consider all ancient Russian coats of arms, 15th century, in which there are figures of an arrow, a crescent and stars, as a modification of the coat of arms of Sas. This coat of arms to the middle XVI century performed only the role of the family coat of arms of one clan, the Rybotytskys and, accordingly, their closest relatives, the clans that appeared in the 15th century: Berestyansky, Biskovskiy, Volosetskiy, Bukhovsky, Gubitsky and some others, having a common origin from Count Stefan of the Rybotitsky coat of arms of Sas.

Coat of arms description:
On the shield, which has a blue field, a yellow (golden) crescent is depicted, with its horns facing upwards. On each of its horns is placed a golden six-pointed star, in the middle is a silver arrow pointing upwards. The shield is surmounted by a nobleman's helmet with a nobleman's Crown on it. Above the Crown is a peacock's tail, which is pierced by an arrow from the right side of the shield to the left side. The namet is blue lined with gold. The shield may have a red field, such as in the coats of arms of SAS II and SAS Pruski. In heraldic literature there are also: SAS III, SAS IV, SAS V, SAS VI, SAS Baron, SAS albo Ksiezyc; on the Genealogia dynastyczna website, the coat of arms is called Jaworski Hrabia or SAS odmiana Jaworski Hrabia*.

In addition to the Ukrainian clan of Galician-Russian-Polish origin = Yavorsky - Turkish - Ilnitsky = and the surnames presented on the general scheme (icon in the center), having a common ancestor of the Hungarian Count Vanchalukha or Vancha Volokh (Voloshyn), the Drago-Sas genus **, to the coat of arms Sas include about 500 more surnames. The descendants of the surname "Yavorsky" alone now live: in Poland and Austria, France and Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan, the USA, Canada, Germany and other states. In the coat of arms of K. Nesetsky, a total of 75 names are mentioned. The main emblem of the coat of arms is a crescent, an arrow and stars, with some changes, was widely used by noble families in Russian heraldry ***.

Coat of arms history:
About the coat of arms Sas (Sas) Alexander Borisovich Lakier, the author of the unique work “Russian Heraldry” (published in 1855), writes: “This coat of arms was originally used in Saxony, then in Hungary, and from the 13th century in Lithuania and Poland.” However, many authoritative Polish historians believed that the promotion of the Sas coat of arms from Western Europe proceeded differently. So, for example, Bartosz Paprocki in the book “Coats of Arms of the Polish Knighthood”, published in Krakow in 1584, refers to Albertus Strepa, who in his chronicle reports that in 1236 during the reign of Prince Dangiela [Daniel of Galicia - B Ya.] comitem Huyd came to Russia [Galicia-Volyn, not Lithuania or Poland - B. Ya.] with a considerable army of Hungarians and “there” earned great favors from this prince. Guyd was accepted into the service by Daniil Galitsky, having received a content worthy of his position. At the same time, at the head of the Hungarian and Russian troops, in alliance with Lithuania, he opposed Mazovia, which was under the control of Prince Leon, and devastated its lands. There are words in the chronicle that are important for substantiating what has been said: it mentions for the first time the name of the person who led the allied army and the banner under which he spoke. “There was also a great man,” writes the Polish chronicler about Guyda, “having a banner with a crescent moon, two stars, and an arrow in the middle.”
Further, Paprocsky says: “In my time there were many noble offspring from this family in the Russian lands” and, among others, he names the house of the Danilovichs, who received a surname from the “ancestor of Daniel”, i.e. King Daniel of Galicia, who gave Guidu his wife niece with "a considerable part of the father's inheritance", and "christened their first son with his own name." In the future, "this house", due to historical changes in the fate of Galicia, "was well-deserved in the Commonwealth."

K. Nesetsky, agreeing mainly with Paprocki, recounts the story as follows: “The beginning of this coat of arms comes from Saxony, hence the name Sas; from Saxony he reached Hungary, from where Count Guid, according to Wojciech Strepy, arrived with a considerable army to the Russian prince Leo and, having entered into an alliance with Lithuania, devastated Mazovia. As a reward for his knightly deeds, in addition to other gifts, the prince gave him his close relative as his wife. Since that time, Count Guide "settled in Russia and became the ancestor of his descendants of various surnames who bear this coat of arms."
According to Paprotsky, the Guida clan in the Kingdom of Hungary was rich, they minted a gold coin with the image of their coat of arms. He suggests that the minting of money dates back to the time when the ancestors of this noble family occupied a high position in the state. Note, however, that in the medieval era the nobility of many other states of Europe also had the right to mint: Germany, England, France, etc., that is, those states “where the aristocratic class achieved exclusive rights and independence, and the kings lost supreme power over by their subjects" ****. But with the Guides, it's different. Bartosz Paprocki not only denotes this “high position in the state” with a meaningless phrase, he names a specific position in the government, which then gave the official right to mint money with his coat of arms - the superintendent (minister of finance) of the kingdom.
It follows from the foregoing that the promotion of the Sas coat of arms from Western Europe to the East was different, namely: Saxony, Hungary, Galicia-Volyn Rus, then Poland, Lithuania, Prussia and other states of Central and Eastern Europe.

*About the arms of Sas Baron and Jaworski Hrabia or Sas odmiana Jaworski Hrabia. The Bobronychi-Yavorsky brothers of the coat of arms Sas Romuald Jozef, in 1779 a baron, in 1782 a count, and Michal Gabriel, in 1779 a baron, in 1782 a count were elevated to the baronial and count dignity (see genus painting No. 9, section I Origins. Genealogical paintings). The author does not have drawings and descriptions of these coats of arms. The description of the coat of arms of the barons of the Russian Empire Rastavetsky is known (Andrey Rastavetsky, who came from the Rastavetsky family of the Sas coat of arms, was raised to the baronial dignity in 1781). The coat of arms of the Rastavetsky barons (see right) is included in part II of the Armorial of the noble families of the Kingdom of Poland; its description: “In a shield with a baronial crown, in a blue field, a silver crescent with horns up; with each horn a golden star; above the crescent is an arrow with a red feather, a piece of iron up. Above the baronial crown is a helmet crowned with a noble crown, with golden bars and a gold medal on the chain. At the top of the helmet are five peacock feathers, like an arrow pierced to the left in a shield. The namet is blue, on the right lined with silver, and on the left with gold.

***About the right to borrow certain elements of coats of arms from Polish heraldry or completely without any change, A. B. Lakier explained the right to borrow by the noble families of Russia as follows: - “These coats of arms were the property of other Slavic lands, and therefore could not be alien to Russians, who, wanting to place certain emblems in their coat of arms, as well as to express some idea, conformed to how the same thing was expressed among other Slavic peoples and what heraldic form was given to the figure in Polish heraldry, which gathered in itself from everywhere Slavic banners. No less than others, Russia also participated in the compilation of this, so to speak, heraldic building, and therefore she had every right to borrow from this source, ”which is confirmed, for example, by the history of the Sas coat of arms.
