- Authors
Georgiţă, Mihai
- Abstract
Priest Gavril Ilea from Bârgăul de Sus was ennobled by prince Mihai Apaffi at his fortress in Fagaras on 19 February 1682. Thus, he and his family, their descendants too pass from the common serf state to the noble families with all rights, privileges, freedoms and distinctions which are advantages in case of ennoblement. Like any other noble man he received a noble chevron described in his diploma. It is about a shield gun signs on an azure field, where sits a man dressed in priestly garments, holding in his hands the book of Scripture; the shield is stamped by a military helmet with dark visor, covered by a royal crown, adorned with precious stones and pearls.
