Hasselt was one of the most important cities in the County Loon in the 12th-14<sup>th</sup> century. In 1232 Hasselt received city rights from Arnoud IV, Count of Loon. The city rights were later augmented in the 14th and 16<sup>th</sup> century. The two elements, Loon and hazel trees, already appear on the 15<sup>th</sup> century seal of the city. Later seals and images all combine the two elements, but the present combination in a divided shield did not appear before 1625. Ever since this combination has been the arms of the city. | Hasselt was one of the most important cities in the County Loon in the 12th-14<sup>th</sup> century.
