The Duchy of Auschwitz (now [[Oświęcim (county)|Oświęcim]] Poland) was bought by the Polish Kings in 1457. After the Polish Division in 1772 the Duchy became part of Austria-Hungary. The eagle is either the old eagle of [[County of Nieder Lausitz|Silezia]], or the eagle of [[Poland]]. The colours were changed to silver and blue in 1806. | The Duchy of Auschwitz (now [[Oświęcim (county)|Oświęcim]] Poland) was bought by the Polish Kings in 1457.
