There is a legend of three brothers who founded
the Slavic nations of Poland, Czech and Russia.
The three brothers, Lech, Czech and Rus went
hunting together but each of them followed
a different prey and eventually they all traveled in different
directions. Rus went to the east, Czech headed to the west to settle
on the Ríp Mountain, while Lech traveled to the north until he came
across a magnificent white eagle guarding her nest. Startled but
impressed by this spectacle, he decided to settle there. He named
his settlement Gniezno (adjective from gniazdo, or "nest") and
adopted the White Eagle as his coat-of-arms which remains a
symbol of Poland to this day.
