Coat of Arms of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Coat of Arms of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the symbol of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, representing the union of two states: the Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Therefore it was made by combining their two previously separate coats of arms:
- Coat of Arms of Poland, the White Eagle
- Coat of Arms of Lithuania, the Knight/the Chase (Vytis, Pahonya, Pogoń)
During the January Uprising a similar coat of arms was proposed for the restored Commonwealth, with Archangel Michael, the coat of arms of Ukraine added as the third element. However, it was never officially introduced.
