Vršovci

The Vršovci were the third most powerful political force in newly Christianized Bohemia, after the reigning Přemyslids (Přemyslovci) and the contending Slavníks (Slavníkovci).

Some historians supposed that, unlike their opponents, the other two leading families of Bohemia, the Vršovci could have retained some pagan beliefs in the 10th century.

[citation needed] The Vršovci, Přemyslids and Slavníks took part in cruel power struggles that occurred in Bohemia on the turn of the first millennium.

[citation needed] The later history of the family is unclear; there are two or more versions: If the second is true, it could be that some of Vršovci (because phonetically similar surnames were spotted among szlachta of two Polish coat of arms), in the midst of nobility referred to as Oksza (Werszowic, Werszowiec, Wierszowiec)[2] and Rawicz (Warsz, Warsza) bearers, probably participated in the Battle of Grunwald.

[citation needed] In the historical records among 50 Polish "banners" (regiments) is one (the 26th) under the Rawicz coat of arms led by Christian of Ostrów, castellan of Kraków, also a war councillor and one of the seven chief members of King Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland's general headquarters.
