The counts of Jülich (Gulik in Dutch), were one of the most influential families in the area, which is now partly Germany, partly The Netherlands. The oldest known use of the lion by the counts is from a seal of Wilhem of Jülich dating from 1237. The colours are mentioned in the Bigot roll of arms from 1254, and the Gelre roll of arms of the late 14<sup>th</sup> century. | The counts of Jülich ([[Gulik]] in Dutch), were one of the most influential families in the area, which is now partly Germany, partly The Netherlands.

The lion of Jülich alone forms part of many civic arms in Germany, like [[Bad Münstereifel]], [[Bergheim]], [[Brüggen]], [[Dormagen]], [[Eschweiler]], [[Frechen]], [[Gangelt]], [[Geilenkirchen]], [[Grevenbroich]], [[Heimbach]], [[Jüchen]], [[Düren]], [[Kaster]], [[Linnich]], [[Monschau]], [[Nideggen]] and [[Nörvenich]] | The lion of Jülich alone forms part of many civic arms in Germany, like [[Bad Münstereifel]], [[Bergheim]], [[Brüggen]], [[Dormagen]], [[Eschweiler]], [[Frechen]], [[Gangelt]], [[Geilenkirchen]], [[Grevenbroich]], [[Heimbach]], [[Jüchen]], [[Düren]], [[Kaster]], [[Linnich]], [[Monschau]], [[Nideggen]] and [[Nörvenich]] | ||
In 1377 the counts of Gulik inherited the duchy of Gelre (derived from the town of [[Geldern]]), making them even more influential, as the duchy was one of the largest independent states of what is now The Netherlands. The lions of Jülich and Gelre were combined. This combination is now the arms of the Dutch province of [[Gelderland]] and the former district of [[Geldern (kreis)|Geldern]]. The combination is also part of the arms of many Dutch communities in the former duchy (like [[Mook en Middelaar]], [[Linne]] and [[Tiel]]). | In 1377 the counts of [[Gulik]] inherited the duchy of Gelre (derived from the town of [[Geldern]]), making them even more influential, as the duchy was one of the largest independent states of what is now The Netherlands.
