De Lannoy Family
The House of Lannoy is the name of an old and important Belgian noble family that takes its name from the French town of Lannoy, Nord. The name comes from ''l'Annoy'' (or ''l'Annoit'', from Latin ''alnetum'') which means «the alderwood» in Picard French of Flanders. History The oldest known ancestor is one Gillion de l'Annoit who lived in the 13th century. Many of his descendants were members of the Order of the Golden Fleece. They played a prominent role in Flanders during the Middle Ages. Different family branches and lines existed amongst the Lords of Beaurepaire, Clervaux, Princes of Sulmona and Princes of Rheina-Wolbeck. One branch of the family supposedly became the influential American Delano family through its progenitor Philip Delano. However, the possible connection between the two has never been proven. A branch of the family supposedly engaged in the transaltlantic slave trade, resulting in an existing lineage of the family in South America and the Caribbean ...

Flag Of Belgium
The national flag of Belgium ( nl, vlag van België, french: drapeau de la Belgique, german: Flagge Belgiens) is a tricolour consisting of three equal vertical bands displaying the national colours of Belgium: black, yellow, and red. The colours were taken from the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant, and the vertical design may be based on the flag of France. When flown, the black band is nearest the pole (at the hoist side). It has the unusual proportions of 1315. In 1830, the flag, at that time non-officially, consisted of three horizontal bands, with the colors red, yellow and black. On 23 January 1831, the National Congress enshrined the tricolor in the Constitution, but did not determine the direction and order of the color bands. As a result, the "official" flag was given vertical stripes with the colors black, yellow and red. Previous flags After the death of Charlemagne, the present-day territory of Belgium (except the County of Flanders) became part of Lotharingia, w ...
