Fraunberg
''For the town in Germany, translated as (wife or lady of the Mountain) see Fraunberg, Bavaria.'' The family of the barons von Fraunberg, also known as the Fraunberger, is among the oldest in Bavaria. Their name derives from the village of Fraunberg in the district of Erding. They are documented since 945, when Heinrich von Fraunberger was mentioned in connection with Costnitz am Bodensee. Their main arms are Gules, a pale argent. By 1245, the family of Gurren of Haag had already begun using a horse salient as their seal device. The word ''Gurre'' is German now means a horse of poor quality, a nag or jade. Whether the family derived their name from the coat of arms or vice versa is not clear.

The Fraunbergers adopted the Gurren coat of arms at the time of Sigfried I., to whom was granted the posit ...

Seal (device)
A seal is a device for making an impression in wax, clay, paper, or some other medium, including an embossment on paper, and is also the impression thus made. The original purpose was to authenticate a document, or to prevent interference with a package or envelope by applying a seal which had to be broken to open the container (hence the modern English verb "to seal", which implies secure closing without an actual wax seal). The seal-making device is also referred to as the seal ''matrix'' or ''die''; the imprint it creates as the seal impression (or, more rarely, the ''sealing''). If the impression is made purely as a relief resulting from the greater pressure on the paper where the high parts of the matrix touch, the seal is known as a ''dry seal''; in other cases ink or another liquid or liquefied medium is used, in another color than the paper. In most traditional forms of dry seal the design on the seal matrix is in intaglio (cut below the flat surface) and therefore the ...
