Bavarian Noble Family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sandizell family (also Lords, Counts of Sandizell or Sandicell, also Sandizell) is the name of an old Bavarian noble family. The Lords of Sandizell belong to the old Bavarian nobility. Branches of the family exist to this day.
The family is one of the oldest flourishing ministerial families from the time of the Counts of Scheyern. The family was first mentioned with Arnoldus de Sandizelle, who was mentioned from 1171 to 1190.[1]
Sandizell castle, in Sandizell is the ancestral seat of the family and is today a district of Schrobenhausen in the Upper Bavarian district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen. It was first mentioned in 1007 and has been in the family's possession since the end of the 11th century.[2]
The family coat of arms shows in gold a slanting left, red-tongued, silver-armored black buffalo head; on the helmet with black and gold helmet covers two buffalo horns covered with ermine fur with red forehead fur and red ears.[3]
