The arms are derived from the old arms of the Lords of Maldegem. The first known arms of a Lord of Maldegem date from 1307. Philips, Lord of Maldegem, used a seal with a knight holding a shield with a cross and 12 merles. In the Gelre Roll of Arms from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century the arms of the Lords of Maldegem are shown as gold, with a red cross and 12 red merles. The first known use of the arms by the council of Maldegem dates from 1643 when the arms appear on the local seal. Later seals all show the same arms, sometimes with a crown and sometimes held by two lion supporters. The latter were not granted in 1909. | The arms are derived from the old arms of the Lords of Maldegem. The first known arms of a Lord of Maldegem date from 1307.
