	Brabant, Netherlands (Duchy) - LoveToKnow 1911
		The chief city of Brabant, Brussels, became under the Habsburg regime the residence of the court and the capital of the Netherlands.

		The important part played by Brabant at this crisis of the history of the southern Netherlands was marked in 1831 by the adoption of the ancient Brabancon colours to form the national flag, and of the lion of Brabant as the armorial bearings of Belgium.
