817 - FERDINAND II, Holy Roman Emperor: Letters patent confirming the nobility and granting an augmentation of arms to Servays (or Servaz) de Bulciau, Imperial captain in the Verdugo Regiment. Vienna, April 17, 1621; approx. 68 x 78 cm; vellum; brown and gold inks; Latin; coat of arms in black ink and gouache within a black and gold frame; signed “Ferdinandus” in the lower left corner, countersigned by the secretary below (a few small stains, browning along the upper margin and the horizontal folds; seal missing). Framed under glass (n.s.o.f.). A fine imperial patent confirming the knightly nobility of Servays de Bulciau, an officer in the Habsburg armies. His regiment, commanded by the imperial colonel Guglielmo Verdugo, was active in Moravia and Hungary during the early campaigns of the Thirty Years’ War. The patent notably records de Bulciau’s distinguished service at the Battle of White Mountain near Prague (November 8, 1620), the decisive imperial victory over the Bohemian revolt. Unusually, de Bulciau was granted the privilege of adding the imperial eagle to his coat of arms, for himself and all his descendants, male and female. The augmented arms are finely painted within an ornamental frame (11 x 10 cm).
