Bubna of Litice

Originally members of lower nobility (vladyka) from the castle of Buben in western Bohemia.

The castles of Doudleby and Žamberk were built by Mikuláš the elder of Bubna at the end of the 16th century and became the family seat.

Jan Varlich of Bubna was forced to flee the country with the Winter King Frederick V. However, a different part of the house was later granted the title of count.

The Coat of Arms of the Counts of Bubna-Litice depicts a drum (Czech: buben) and a lion with a King's crown which represented allegiance to Emperor Ferdinand II.

The last important role was in the Protectorate when Mikuláš of Bubna-Litice was a minister in the government of Alois Eliáš.
