Sas[1] or Szász[2] (origin: Slavic for "Saxon", Polish: Sas, Hungarian: Szász, Romanian: Saș, Ukrainian: Сас) is a Central European coat of arms. It was borne since the medieval period by several Transylvanian-Saxon Hungarian, Ruthenian, Ukrainian,[3] and Polish-Lithuanian noble families.[1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9] The house was once a mighty princely and ducal house with origins in Saxony, Transylvania, Hungary and Ruthenia.[1][2][5][6][7][8]
