Brabant is an old Duchy. It is first mentioned in 1101. In 1106 Godfried of Leuven became count. His successors adapted the name and title Duke of Brabant and also adapted a lion as their arms. The colors of the arms are known since the middle of the 13<sup>th</sup> century. In the 14<sup>th</sup> century the nails and tongue became red. The arms haven't changed since then. The dukes from different dynasties quartered their ancestral arms with the lion. During the Dutch Republic the Staten of Brabant continued the lion as arms of Brabant. The arms are identical to the arms of Belgium, which are also derived from Brabant. | Brabant is an old Duchy. It is first mentioned in 1101. In 1106 Godfried of Leuven became count.
