The lions are derived from the arms of the counts of Holland-Henegouwen (quarterly Holland and Henegouwen). They were used since the beginning of the 14<sup>th</sup> century. Schoonhoven probably adapted the arms from Jan van Beaumont, brother of William III of Holland-Henegouwen, who was lord of Schoonhoven from 1310 to 1357. The arms have not changed since then. | The lions are derived from the arms of the counts of Holland-Henegouwen (quarterly Holland and Henegouwen).

There are some historical pictures showing the red lion in the first quarter (all from the 17<sup>th</sup> century), but there are more and older pictures with the black lion in the first quarter.
