The development and improvement of the country contributed to the extension of the number of settlements of the military and administrative Elite. The leaders loved founding their residences near large castles or trade trails. At the same time, members of the Elite were moving from large cities to more remote areas. Places at the edge of the existing settled areas were very popular as aristocrats found enough space for their own colonization there. In our region, they were mainly the Ronovs with a gnarled branch in their coat of arms (Knight Hron in Nachod) on the Trutnov Land's Trail, along the Upa River and in part of Silesia and also the lords using a stirrup in their coat of arms (Tas of Vizmburk) in a narrow strip between the former two, stretching up to the village of Viznov near Broumov. The town of Police and vicinity and later also Broumov and vicinity along the Stenava River were controlled by Benedictine monks of the Brevnov Monastery who were aware of their strategic importance between two frequently used land's trails at the foothills of the Krkonose and the Orlicke Hory Mountains.
