Summary: Coats of arms of the island of Krk princes, later known as the Frankopans
Bartol Zmajić
Sažetak
The author describes the coats of arms of the island's nobility, the local princes who later became one of the most powerful families in Croatia, known as the Frankopans. The oldest types of these coats of arms can be found on stone monuments. The original coat of arms is very simple. In its upper part we can see a six-armed star while its lower part is empty. Heraldic colours are mentioned for the first time in 1330; a gold star on a red background and a silver-coloured lower part. In 1428 Nicholas IV from Krk, who was a powerful Croatian »ban« (civil governor), visited the Roman Pope Martin V. After that time the island's princes became known as the Frankopans. They considered themselves as relatives of the Roman nobility of the same name. From that time the princes of Krk were using a different coat of arms - a blue field on which there were two gold lions facing each other and holding, in their paws, three gold loaves of bread turned one over the other upside down.
