The Ewsum family acquired the Marum Estate in 1531. The family was living in the Nienoord castle in Midwolda, which at the time belonged to Marum. The family arms also form part of the arms of the Roden municipality.The dexter half shows the Wolddiep (or Ouddiep) river flowing through rich fields, symbolised by the garb and trefoil.Whether the Trimont area is indeed derived from Tres Montes is not sure. There used to be a convent in Trimunt, but the convent had little influence in the history of the village. | The Ewsum family acquired the Marum Estate in 1531.
