Would someone kindly blazon the Hradcovice flag?
Lewis A. Nowitz, 16 Nov 2001
English blazon would be something like this, I think:
Argent an Eagle displayed double-headed Azure beaked langued and membered
Gules ensigned with Vine Grape unslipped Or holding two Sceptres fleury
of the last.
English translation of the Czech description in Petr Exner's Vexilologický
Lexikon prapory obcí ČR (2000 1.část) would, on the other hand be more
readable as something like this:
White field with blue double-headed eagle with red tallons, with yellow
vine grape on breasts, holding in each a yellow lily-scpetres.
Željko Heimer, 18 Nov 2001
The English description of Hradčovice flag would be roughly as follows:
"White field charged (in the middle) with a blue (double headed) eagle
displayed red armed, itself (charged) on the breast with an yellow bunch
of grapes, holding in its claws yellow sceptres with fleur de lys (on a
top). Ratio is 2:3".
The blazon can be following: Argent an Eagle displayed double - headed
Azure, armed Gules, charged on breast with a Bunch of grapes Or, holding
in its claws two Sceptres fleury of the last.
In Czech heraldry we call a double- headed eagle simply "orel" (eagle),
while a single - headed one is "orlice" (let's say "she - eagle" or "eagle
- female"). Also Slovaks had followed this custom, calling it a heraldic
convention, although no other nation I know does it so. Or am I wrong about
it?
