	NGA - Dutch and Flemish Painting 16th-17th centuries
		Flanders remained Catholic and royalist; Flemish artists such as Rubens and Van Dyck glorified the Church and monarchy with grandiose themes, lively compositions, and vivid colors.
		In the southern provinces, which remained under the rule of Spanish regents, the Catholic church and the court continued to be the most important patrons of the arts.
		The most sought-after Flemish painter of the seventeenth century was Van Dyck's teacher, the scholar, linguist, and diplomat Peter Paul Rubens, who was besieged with commissions from the nobility and religious orders of Europe for portraits, altarpieces, mythological scenes, and allegories.

	FLEMISH LITERATURE - LoveToKnow Article on FLEMISH LITERATURE
		The older Flemish writers are dealt with in the article on DUTCH LITERATURE; after the separation of Belgium, however, from the Netherlands in 1830 there was a great revival of Flemish literature.
		As a result of this propaganda the Flemish language was placed on an equality with French in law, and in administration, in 1873 and 1878, and in the schools in 1883.
		The claims put forward by the Flemish school were justified by the appearance (1837) of In t rVonderjaar 1566 (In the Wonder- ful year) of Hendrik Conscience (q.v.), who roused national enthusiasm by describing the heroic struggles of the Flemings against the Spaniards.

	Flemish Block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Flemish Block (Dutch: Vlaams Blok) was a Flemish right-wing nationalist political party which rejected the state of Belgium, calling for political independence for the Flemish half of the country.
		Its voting track record in the Flemish and Belgian parliaments was strong and consistent on the immigration and law-and-order theme, but mixed for Flemish autonomy (e.g.: it abstained from a crucial vote on splitting the trade unionist electoral district of Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde/Bruxelles-Hal-Vilvorde).
		In 2003, a Vlaams Blok politician was dropped from a delegation of Flemish parliamentarians due to visit the Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly after strongly criticizing the SNP [2] (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1034186,00.html), [3] (http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/08/276065.html).

	Flemish far right sets its sights on Brussels , by Serge Govaert
		If it tones down its Flemish nationalist rhetoric and concentrates on issues traditionally favoured by the far right, it can win votes among those sections of the Brussels population that are bearing the brunt of the economic crisis.
		But if the Flemish parties of the outgoing coalition lost support - which is perfectly conceivable - the Vlaams Blok would only have to take 10,000 votes from the French-speaking parties and 5,000 from the CVP, SP or Volkunie in order to win half the Flemish seats in the Brussels parliament.
		By way of reassurance, the Flemish nationalist party proposed a "contract" whose most surprising clause was the maintenance of French speakers’ rights in matters of culture, language use and education.

	Flemish independence
		Evidently the Flemish resisted to these attempts, and many generations spent their lives trying to improve the situation of the Flemish, who were regarded by the Belgian state as some kind of inferior lifeform (the Francophones arrogantly assumed, and some of them still do, they were members of Europe's highest civilisation).
		The Flemish have always had to fight and pay high prices to get their rights recognised by a state that despises them.
		This is because the Flemish are by nature an industrious, freedom-loving nation, in opposition to the inproductive, socialist-minded Walloons.

	THE RISE OF THE FLEMISH FAMILIES IN SCOTLAND

		The labyrinthine inter-relationships of the Flemish nobility in their own country continued into England and Scotland, and there are other clues to the origin of the Crawford arms.
