The Coat of Arms of Flanders is a heraldic symbol representing the historical region of Flanders in Belgium. Its design features a shield divided into four quadrants, each containing specific symbols with symbolic meanings related to the region's history and heritage. The first quadrant displays three lions passant-guardant, symbolizing the County of Flanders. The second quadrant features a fleur-de-lis on a white field, representing the Kingdom of France as a tribute to its suzerainty over Flanders. The third quadrant shows a black eagle displayed, which is associated with the Duchy of Burgundy, another significant historical power in Flanders. The fourth quadrant includes three black bars (palets) on a white field, representing the Counts of Flanders from the House of Dampierre and later, the House of Boulogne. This heraldic emblem embodies the rich history and complex political relationships of the region throughout its history.
