*Calvinist Line
The Radziwill's coat of arms in the belly of the eagle is divided into four. The upper right hand corner is a horseshoe. Here in the USA when a horseshow is open on the bottom it means all the good luck is pouring out. I guess, this wasn't the case in Lithuaniana. The lower right corner is a symbol which looks like a six sided star but repressents a spur over a half moon or crescent. The upper left corner which looks like a pinwheel, I don't know what it means, but it could be three bule-honrs. In the bottom left are what look like two fish, but could be Martlet, wich for some reason, do not usually have legs and feet when drawn. Why two I don't know. Fish usually indicate Christianity or refers to indicating candency [which son inherited the right to carry the coat-of-arms. The crown refers to the Radziwill being carring the title of prince. Let me note here that the Catholic line were never given the title of prince, or, I should say more accurately, they were given the title but it was not accept and never was official. However, the family may have felt it didn't need it from the Polish King since they were already Princes of Lithuanina. The Calvinist lineage did accept titles. In 1547 they did accept the title of Prince of Birzai and Dubinki as did the Catholics under Nicholas IV "the Black" who became Prince of Olyka, Klezk and Nesvizh. I'm not sure if the crowns are correctly drawn for Lithuanian-Polish coat-of-arms. I have not shown the complete coat-of-arms. Missing is the supporters. There are three pageant helments. On one the left is facted toward the middle as is the one on the right. The helement in the middle is forward with an eagle [with it's body] erased rising out of the crown. Rising out of the left helement crown is a lion with it's paws outstreached and [it's body] erassed. Out of the right helement crown is a griffon or a opinicus iwht it front legs outstretched. What ever it is, it has dragon wings not those of an eagle and it's throat has feathers not the scaled throat of a dragon. The reason I saw the animals and monsters forelegs are outstretched they don't appear to the arms of rampant beasts. This could have been the arists error.
If someone knows the actual description of the coat-of-arms, I'd appreciate what the true symbolic references and their meanings.
