The Bonikowski Coat-Of-Arms |
 | | Paprocki ascribes the origin of these arms to this occasion, to which they all bear witness. |
| | Kazimierz the Monk, King of Poland, was waging war against the tyrant Mieclaw and the Jadzwings associated with him, when one plucky young Pole displayed his courage to him on all occasions, protecting his side, for which he was given numerous properties in Mazovia and granted this coat of arms. |
| | Rev, Rutka designates 1038 as the year of this origin, and says that the man had a long and handsome beard, and he and the arms were named Brodzic [from broda = "beard" in Polish]. |
