Marquis of Lista
Marquis of Lista (Norwegian: Markis av Lista; formerly spelled Lister) was a title of the Norwegian nobility. Lista lies in Southern Norway.
The title was given to the Italian Hugo Octavius Accoramboni of Florence by Frederick IV of Norway on 22 April 1709.
The coat of arms of the Marquis of Lista is described in the Encyclopedia of Noble Families in Denmark, Norway, and the Duchies (Lexicon over adelige familier i Danmark, Norge og Hertugdømmerne). A book by Amund Helland cites the following description in Danish:
Skioldet rødt, kantet med en af Guld og Hermelin sammensat Rand, deri en opreist sølv Grif, holdende i venstre Forben et guld Bierg, i høire et draget Sverd, fire blaae høire Skraabielker over hele Skioldemærket. Paa Skioldet en markgrevelig Krone. Hele Vaabenet er omgivet af to sammensatte Palmegrene.
In English:

Upon the shield a coronet of a marquis. The whole coat of arms is surrounded by two joint palm branches.
