Krzywda is a Polish coat of arms. It was used by several szlachta families. The homeland of this coat of arms is probably the village Krzywda in Podlaskie.
There are two legends of how this coat of arms appeared:
The first says one of two (or three) brothers of the Lubicz clan did wrong (krzywda) to the other with respect to his portion of their inheritance, and as a result half of one cross was taken from his coat of arms and the new coat of arms was called Krzywda (which translates from Polish as "injustice", "grief"). Polish: "Gdy jeden Lubicz przy majàtkowym dziaà Âe brata skrzywdzià Â, utracià  za to jedno ramie górniego krzyà ¼a."
The other version says the missing arm was based on a rule that "The first man to touch a certain piece of land, could claim it". Someone named Bogucki was in a boat looking for the land, and there were many other boats around him. When he feared others might get to the land first, he cut off his arm, threw it to the land, and claimed it as his.
In Polish blazon sounds like: <blockquote>W polu bà ÂÃÂkitnym podkowa srebrna ocelami w dÃ³à  zwrócona. W à Ârodku niej krzyà ¼ kawalerski zà Âoty. Na niej umieszczony krzyà ¼ kawalerski zà Âoty bez prawego ramienia. W klejnocie nad heà Âmem w koronie trzy pióra strusie.</blockquote> In English: <blockquote>Azure, within a silver horseshoe ensiegned with a cross pattée sans its right arm, a cross patee both crosses Or. Crest: three ostrich plumes Argent.</blockquote> In other words, on a blue field there is a silver horseshoe (pointed down) with a gold knight's cross inside it, and another knight's cross missing its right arm on top of it.
