Balbínové z Vorličné

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Balbínové z Vorličné (German Balbin (us) von Worliczna ) were a Bohemian knightly dynasty that can be traced back to the 15th century. Originally they called themselves von Schwornitz ( Škvornicové ), to which they added the first name Balbin (us). After they were raised to the nobility after the settlement of Vorlična near Königgrätz , they called themselves Balbínové z Vorličné.
