ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF POLAND, ITS SELF-NAME, AND ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE COAT OF ARMS OF OSTOJA

This article deals with the issue of the origin of Poland, its self-name and the heraldic meaning of the knight's coat of arms of Ostoja. It is illustrated that Oleg the Wise (Oleg Prophetic) Rus and Meroving was the same Leszyk, (the grandfather of Mieszko I), from whom the self-name of the future Poland was derived. The visual identity and resemblance of elements of the medieval coat of arms of Ostoje and the sign of the lily, one of the ancestral symbols of the Merovings, indicates the relationship between the first Polish Piast dynasty and the Ruses cars of the Franks.
