Bajót ( German : Bajot ) is a municipality in Komárom-Esztergom County in northern Hungary .
location
The village is located south of the Danube in County Komárom-Esztergom in northern Hungary near the Slovak border.
history
The place Bajót was founded by representatives of the West Hungarian noble family of the Mattersdorf-Forchtensteiners , who came from Aragon ( Spain ) .
Municipality coat of arms
The seal of Count Paul von Mattersdorf as the royal court judge shows an eagle standing on a rock, the wings of which are raised by paw crosses. Allegedly, the family is said to have already used this seal in Spain. The inscription of this seal reads: S.COMITIS.PAULI.IUDICIS.CURIE.REGIS. The seal therefore dates from the period from 1328 to 1349. The family coat of arms corresponding to the seal, of which several variants have been handed down, shows in its most complete form in the white (silver) shield a crowned, gold-reinforced, black eagle soaring from a red rock whose flights are exaggerated by broad-ended red crosses. The family coat of arms of the Mattersdorf-Forchtensteiners is used today as the state coat of arms of Burgenland and also of the Bajót community in the Hungarian Komárom-Esztergom (Komorn-Gran) county .
