Who were the Counts of Flanders?
|
|
|
|
The Counts of Flanders were powerful, ruthless men, who dominated the area of Burgundy, today known as Belgium and Northern France.
With names like "Jan zonder Vrees" (John without Fear) and Charles the Bold, these were men to be reckoned with. They were feared and distrusted even by the king of France.
Today, the lion of flanders is most often seen vigorously being waved by fans during bicycle races held in the north of Belgium.
