Zerwikaptur coat of arms

Zerwikaptur is a Polish coat of arms.

It was used by several gentry families in the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

A legend about the origination of the coat of arms is used in the novel With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz, whereby a character Longinus Podbipięta managed to cut off the heads of three knights bearing the goat's head on their arms with a single swing of his huge sword.

In fact, Zerwikaptur originated well before the times of the novel.
