LISBOURG

Département : Pas-de-Calais

Lisbourg.jpg

Origin/meaning

The municipality has no arms as far as I know. The above arms were proposed in 1994 and show the arms of knight Vollant de Berneville. He acquired the estate of Lisbourg in 1692 and was promoted to Marquise in 1694. His family ruled the estate for the next century and thus were the last Lords of Lisbourg. The image above is taken from a document in the local archive.

Literature : Bouchet et al, 1994
