| County of Scania (Sweden) (782 words) |
| Thus, the two counties in Scania were known as the County of Kristianstad (Kristianstads län), situated in the northeast of the province, and the County of Malmöhus (Malmöhus län), situated in Scania's southwest. |
| The arms of the County of Kristianstad consisted of a red erased griffin head, beak and tongue blue, crowned with a blue crown and with five plumes in red, silver, red, silver and red, extending from the crown, all on a gold shield. |
| In other words, the arms – and the flag – of the County of Kristianstad were taken from the crest of the arms of the city of Malmö, while the colours – griffin head in red on a gold field – were those of the province of Skåne. |
