Rogala is a Polish coat of arms, likely based upon armorial bearings imported from Northeastern Germany to Poland around 1109, by members of the von Bibersztein family (whose arms feature a 5-tined stag's horn). Polish descendants of this family later added a second horn, that of the Urus or European Bison, to create the Rogala arms.[3] It was used by numerous szlachta families in the time of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
