About the coat of arms: I know that there is discussion whether the earliest coat of arms of the county of Flanders (i.e. at the time of Philip, Count of Flanders) was armed and langued sable (= black) or gules (= red). Probably sable. However, during the life of Louis II of Male, the discussion is settled. The Armorial Gelre (folio page 80 recto) of that time clearly shows a tongue and claws in gules. So I will replace the image Image:Blason_Comte-de-Flandre.svg with Image:Blason_Nord-Pas-De-Calais.svg which is the same, but armed and langued gules. – Adhemar 15:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
