Dutch Republic Lion: Difference between revisions

When the county of Flanders was inherited by the [[Duke of Burgundy|Dukes of Burgundy]] in 1405, the Flemish lion was placed on an escutcheon in their dynastic arms (see [[:Fr:armorial des Capétiens|Armorial of the French Royal House]] or [[Duke of Burgundy#House of Valois-Burgundy (1361–1482)|Armorial of Dukes of Burgundy]]). The same happened with the duchy of Brabant (and its dependent duchy of Limburg) in 1430, but oddly not the county of Holland in 1432. These passed with the rest of the Burgundian inheritance to the [[House of Habsburg]] in 1482. Their descendants, the [[Kings of Spain]] (see [[Monarchy of Spain]] bear the title and arms of the county of Flanders (Holland was renounced in 1648 with the [[Treaty of Westphalia]]) and the duchy of Brabant to this day (see [[Coat of arms of the King of Spain]] and [[List of titles and honours of the Spanish Crown]]).
