The flag and the coat of arms of Seduva (Siauliai county,
Radviliskis district - Siauliu apskritis, Radviliskio rajonas).
The flag is drawn by me according to my personal observation. The
coat of arms I drew according to the picture from the book: The
Heraldry of Lithuania.

Seduva - I don't have any information about the existence of
Seduva flag, so I can only explain the charge: on a blue field a
golden armed and golden crowned silver eagle with a red tongue,
on the eagle's breast a blue shield with a golden fleur-de-lys.
The charge of arms granted in 1654 by King John Casimir Vasa
comes from the arms of Queen Ludwika Maria (Marie
Louise Gonzaga de Nevers), who owned Seduva in the mid 17th
century. The eagle of Mantua shows the origin of the Queen
from the Princes of Mantua (Italy), the fleur-de-lys
shows her relation with the French royal house (Bourbon), and the
silver / white colour of the eagle (the original Mantua is black)
shows her supreme title as Queen of Poland.
