Fraunberg

The word Gurre is German now means a horse of poor quality, a nag or jade.

The Fraunbergers adopted the Gurren coat of arms at the time of Sigfried I., to whom was granted the position of Count of Haag in 1245.

Some descendants of the Fraunberger family have immigrated to the US and reside in the Clifton, Passaic, and Plainsboro New Jersey area.

On the death of Count Ladislaus von Fraunberg-Haag in 1567 the county was granted to the Duke of Bavaria.

Numerous examples of the arms of Haag exist, particularly in churches and on boundary stones (see Schierl below) For the town in Germany, translated as (wife or lady of the Mountain) see Fraunberg, Bavaria.
