Who exactly was Count Dołęga, and what did he do? My early information was that he was somehow connected to John Ossowski (see names bearing the coat of arms)of Osow, who himself received recognition from the King (Louis of Hungary?)for providing food and water to the army when it arrived at his territory. This was in 1374.
Can anyone shed further light on this?

Owned manor house and village of Osow.
In the war with Prussia, King Boleslaw Krzywousty (1102-1139) with the help of Dołęga clans defeated the Prussians resulting with their leader being killed. This enabled the dismayed people of Poland to rise up with success to then attack. As a reward Dołęga received the arrow to its coat of arms Pobog, and the new coat of arms was called after him.
During the 16th and 17th centuries some of the Dołęga clan emigrated to Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania).
