===Origin/meaning===

The arms show a lion, but the origin is not clear. It has been stated that it is the lion of [[Hainaut]] in inversed colours, but that is unlikely as Hainaut never used a single lion, but a quartered shield of Vlaandere (Flandre) and Holland since the 13th century. In the 19th century also swan supporters have been used (see also below for the swan arms).
