The
arms are from the family
of Dobloug in Hedmark, a
Viking name that
describes a piece of
land, Dufla, Doflo,
written Dobloug in the
1500s by Danish priests.
The Dobloug family has
roots going back to 1307
when King Haakon V
Magnusson granted the
Dobloug farm to the
Sheriff and Baron Jon
Raud Ivarsson of
Sudreim, who later
passed the farm to his
son. The family
eventually took the name
of the farm they lived
on. Dobloug is one of
the great and old
families of Hedemarken
with cognatic roots
tracing back to the
Middle Ages. They are
large landowners with
connections to Norwegian
ancient nobility, the
class of free men who
ruled Norway before the
Danish period.

The
armiger's
great-great-grandfather,
Mikkel Dobloug,
was the youngest
of 12 children who
moved to Oslo in
1869 and
established a
manufacturing
business there. He
was also one of
Norway’s prominent
industrialists and
contributed to the
founding of
Norway's first
political party.
He started to use
the current motto
for this branch of
the family.
Cultura,
Industrial,
Patria.
This version of
the arms is taken
from an Ex Libris
of circa 1870,
sometimes also
used by the family
on some diner
plates which has a
naval crown made
out of viking
ships. The
nobility was
abolished in 1821,
so the family
stopped using
noble crowns and
replaced them with
a viking ship that
was considered to
be more nationally
romantic at the
time of the
struggle to get
out of the union
with Sweden.
