submitted through Rob Raeside, 10 Aug 1999
Žilina is in northwest Slovakia with 87.000 inhabitants. The town originated
at the beginning of the 13th century at the crossing of five important
trade routes and immediately after its foundation was given the rights
of a royal free town. It lost its privileges as a free, royal town, by
rebelling against the emperor. A considerable part of its people joined
the Slovak National Uprising. It is now the political, economic and cultural
center of North Slovakia.

![[Žilina Coat of Arms]](../images/s/sk)zilin.gif)
from http://www.tatrahome.sk/revue/erby/ . (!Link does not work any more!)
The Coat of Arms of Stetten (Aargau, Switzerland) is very simillar to Žilina!
It is Gules a Double - cross argent with roots (or rather "fitchée") between
in chief two Mullets Argent. And the text says that mentioned
village belonged until 19th century to the Hospital in Baden, founded by
Agnes of Hungary! Compare Ralf
Hartemink's site.
