Marquis of Mandal

His family became patrilineally extinct with the death of his great-grandson, Benedetto di Ratta, Marquis of Mandal (born 1809).

A book by Amund Helland cites the following description in Danish: Skioldet Guld, deri en til høire i en grøn Laurbærgren opreist staaende grøn Grif, med aabent Gab, udrakt rød Tunge og opreist Hale.

Omkring det store Skiold er en rød Indfatning, belagt oven, neden og ved Siderne med fire efter hinanden gaaende Guld Løver med opreiste Haler, aabne Gabe og røde udstrakte Tunger.

Hele Vaabenet staar i tvende med et rødt Baand nedentil sammenbundne grønne Palmegrene.In English: The shield [is of] gold, therein a to the right in a green laurel branch rampant standing gryphon, with open mouth, extended red tongue and raised tail.

Around the big shield is a red surrounding, [on which] above, under, and on the sides four after each other walking gold lions with raised tails, open mouths, and [udstrakte] tongues.
