Many centuries ago, in the depths of a Central Europe, the king, Jan Sobieski, rode through the forest with his entourage. As they entered a forest clearing, someone heard the wailing of an infant. Drawn to the centre, they found him there surrounded by the heather flowers that filled the clearing. So it was that the king decided the boy would grow up in his royal court, and he would be named "Wrzos" for that is how the people of that region called the heather that grew in the forests.​
