Bronze Coat of Arms belonging to Benovsky aristocratic family as a part of spherical memorial sculpture in center of small town Vrbové, western Slovakia.
The original CoA was granted to Juraj Benyowsky by king Maximilian II von Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor in 1572.
Generations later, a new CoA was awarded to famous Maurice Benyowsky and all his descendants when he was dignified to honour of Count by Maria Theresia in 1778.
Maurice Benyowsky, (Hungarian: Benyovszky Moric, Polish: Maurycy Beniowski, Slovak: Moric Benovsky;) born in Vrbove;, Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia) on 20 September 1746, died on 23 May 1786, Madagascar
- was an explorer, writer, ruler of a community in Madagascar, and military officer in the French, Polish, Austrian and American armies.
In his memoirs he described himself on several occasions as a "Hungarian and Polish nobleman".
The original Coat of Arms was described as:
Azure (blue) in base a triple hill (Vert, green) surmounted by a ducal coronet (Or, golden) with crescent (Argent, silver) pointed upwards, in chief two six-pointed stars (Or, golden).
Apparently, a flag flown with this coat of arms during Benyowsky's reign on Madagascar.
A new Coat of Arms was awarded when he was made count.
This coat of arms was recorded October 3, 1778, in the 38th year of the reign of the Queen Maria Theresa.
The shield is quartered:
- First quarter - in a red field stands golden Griffin with tail between legs, holding a sable
- Second and Third quarter - a hand vested purple with a vert wreath, holding a azure standard with six-pointed golden star
- Fourth quarter - a hip with three sails on the waves of the sea. In base is a pile azure (blue)
An escutheon Azure on the coronet of Hungary, a crescent pointed upwards argent under the chief two six-pointed stars (Or, golden).
Motto (often placed under the shield): In adversis et Prosperis ("In adversity and prosperity").
Rodovy erb slachtickej rodiny Benovskych mozete vidiet - nielen na fasade kurie Morica Benovskeho, ale aj ako sucast medenej socharskej plastiky pamatnika v centre mestecka Vrbove.
Prvy rodinny erb bol prideleny Jurajovi Benovskemu kralom Maximilianom II z rodu Habsburgovcov v roku 1572.
Na pamatniku je vyobrazeny novsi, modifikovany erb, ktory bol prideleny jeho slavnejsiemu potomkovi Moricovi Benovskemu a vsetkym jeho potomkom v roku 1778.
Vtedy ho Maria Terezia uviedla do slachtickeho stavu pridelenim grofskeho titulu.
Moric Benovsky, (20. september 1746, Vrbove – 23. maj 1786, Agoncy, osada Mauritania, Madagaskar) bol slovensky dobrodruh, cestovatel, objavitel, kolonizator, spisovatel, kral Madagaskaru, plukovnik francuzskej armady, velitel polskej armady a rakusky vojak.
Bol prvy Europan, ktory sa plavil v severnom Pacifiku a severnom Tichom oceane (dlho pred Jamesom Cookom a de La Perousom). Autor memoaroveho diela Pamati a cesty.
Dna 3.aprila 1778 podpisala cisarovna Maria Terezia grofsky diplom "milovanemu synovi" Moricovi Benovskemu s tymto honosnym, rozsirenym rodovym erbom.
Skrateny text listiny s farebnym navrhom erbu je mozne vidiet v krajinskom archive v Budapesti.
V archive rodiny Ambrozyovcov (dodnes zijuci potomkovia Benovskych) je original erbovej listiny - litterae armales, ktory bol osobne odovzdany Moricovi Benovskemu na 20 pergamenovych stranach v latincine.
Erb je tu osadeny akoby v oltarnej architekture. Skrateny preklad listiny znie:
Maria Terezia, cisarovna Svatej rise rimskej nemeckeho naroda, Kralovna Uhorska, Ceska, Chorvatska a Slavonska,
arcivojvodkyna Rakuska, vojvodkyna Parmy a Piacenzy a velkovojvodkyna Toskanska tebe, nas verny, milovany, vzneseny Moric Benovsky,
v sucasnosti v sluzbach francuzskeho krala, brigadny general, rytier vojenskeho radu sv. Ludovita,
plukovnik a gubernator Madagaskaru pozdrav a milost.
Kedze z nasho tronu vdaka aj nasim predchodcom, uhorskym kralom,
vychadza jas ako svetlo zo slnka a k nasej kralovskej hodnosti z Prozretelnosti bozej patri aj rozmnozovat pocet poddanych zasluzilych o nas dom,
teba Moric Benovsky ozdobeneho zvlastnymi darmi a chvalyhodnymi cnostami, nasim dobrotivym rozhodnutim a omilostenim,
hoci si v sluzbach francuzskeho krala ako brigadny general, plukovnik a gubernator Madagaskaru, potomka stareho slachtickeho rodu,
zasluzileho v sluzbach nasich predchodcov, z nasej cisarsko-kralovskej milosti pripajame - aby zjasnela tvoja cnost,
zvacsila sa v nasich sluzbach - k spolocenstvu vyznacenych titulom grof, po nemecky Graf, vzneseny a urodzeny po nemecky Hoch und Wohlgebohrener,
vratane tvojich dedicov a potomkov obojeho pohlavia, legitimne narodenych na vsetky casy, aby boli aj oni ucastni milosti, privilegii,
slobod a vyhod v Uhorsku podla starych zvykov a aby to bolo vsetkym jasnejsie,
schvalujeme tvoj stary, vzneseny, pouzivany erb a doplnujeme ho takto:
Vojensky stit je stvrteny; prva cast je cervena so zlatym grifom (znazornujucim obratnost a odvahu),
s chvostom pomedzi nohami, rozpätymi kridlami, cervenym dolava vyplazenym jazykom, napriamenou sablou so zlatou rukovatou.
V druhej a tretej striebornej casti je purpurove rameno so zelenym vavrinovym vencom, drziace modru zastavu stocenu okolo kopije,
na ktorej je zlata sestcipova hviezda, v druhej stvrti smerujuce dolava, v tretej doprava.
Stvrta cast erbu poukazuje na utrapy, ktore si znasal na oceanoch, znazornuje lod brazdiacu more s troma napatymi bielymi plachtami.
Z paty stitu vyrasta modry pyramidovy hrot s troma francuzskymi zlatymi laliami (...).
Na malom srdcovom stite je znamenie udelene nasimi uhorskymi predchodcami: v modrom stite strieborny mesiac na zlatej uhorskej korune,
na rohoch mesiaca su dve zlate hviezdy. Ponad celym velkym stitom je grofska koruna,
nad nou su tri turnajove zamrezovane korunovane prilby vyplnene purpurom so zlatym okrajom a obopnute zlatou retiazkou s priveskom.
Nad prvou korunkou, ktora je v strede a najvyssie polozena,
zo stitoveho mesiaca s hviezdami vyrastaju dve biele pera medzi dvoma orlimi kridlami spolovice modrymi a spolovice zlatymi,
aby sa nekladol kov na kov a farba na farbu. Z druhej prilby, ktora je vpravo, vyrasta stitovy grif.
Nad tretou prilbou je stitove rameno s vencom a zastavou. Od strednej prilby vlavo i vpravo obopina cely stit plast,
vpravo modry so zlatym hermelinom, vlavo cerveny so striebornym hermelinom. Stit podopieraju dvaja nahi divosi, akisi lesni muzi;
okolo hlavy i bedier maju zelene vence, jeden v pravici a druhy v lavici drzia stromky vytrhnute aj s korenmi.
Pod stitom na stuhe je napisane ciernymi rimskymi pismenami IN ADVERSIS ET PROSPERIS (V stasti i nestasti, v protivenstvach i uspechu),
co ma vyjadrit tvoje niekdajsie utrapy i terajsie radostnejsie podmienky.
Toto vsetko zrucne a umelecky, farebne presne a jasne namaloval na zaciatku,
ci v zahlavi diplomu nas kralovsky maliar s nasim suhlasom a slobodnym rozhodnutim.
Tebe, Moric Benovsky, udelujeme horeopisany, vylepseny a zobrazeny erb, aby si ho pouzival na vsetky cestne a vhodne prilezitosti,
vypravy, vazne i vtipne vojenske hry, pesie i jazdecke zastavy, stity, banderia, zastavy, nahrobky, klenoty, prstene, privesy, pecate,
nabytok bez akejkolvek prekazky - aj pre svojich dedicov obojeho pohlavia, narodenych legitimne
- a mozes ho pouzivat so vsetkymi slobodami, pravami, privilegiami v Uhorsku a v inych krajinach, kde sa uznavaju privilegia grofov.
Tvoj doterajsi rodovy erb nielenze potvrdzujeme, ale ho aj doplname a vylepsujeme a udelujeme tebe,
tvojim dedicom a potomkom obojeho pohlavia pravo pouzivat titul grof.
Vsetkym nasim cirkevnym a svetskym poddanym akehokolvek stavu, stupna a hodnosti prikazujeme,
aby teba a vsetkych tvojich bez pochybnosti, slovom a pismom nazyvali a ctili titulom grof, opakom privolaju na seba nas hnev.
Ako potvrdenie povedaneho toto davame tebe a tvojim nasu privilegialnu listinu s nasim podpisom, potvrdenu nasou tajnou velkou pecatou,
ktoru pouzivame ako uhorska kralovna.
Dane rukami Frantiska Esterhazyho, kancelara Dvorskej uhorskej kancelarie
(a za pritomnosti 32 arcibiskupov, biskupov, grofov a inych hodnostarov kralovstva - s menami a titulmi).
Vieden, 3. aprila 1778, v 38. roku nasho panovania.
