January 27, 2023 Written in patronymic order and according to the archives of the old parliaments, the manuscripts of HOZIER and the works of authors.Volume 2 In heraldry, the coat of arms is a description identifying its bearer, which may be represented on a shield, armour, banner or tabar. It is also referred to as a coat of arms, with the coat of arms referring to the shield and its external ornaments. The coat of arms is a sign of recognition of the individual or his family, particularly used by knights in the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, this symbol is not reserved for them: in France, it is not necessary to be from the nobility to create a coat of arms. Commoners created coats of arms as early as the beginning of the 13th century, with the bourgeoisie being imitated by simple peasants as early as the 14th century. Cities also created coats of arms, as did certain administrations and corporations. The rule is not to usurp the arms of others1. This personal identification became hereditary in male lines from about 1130 onwards. To search in...

Ceremonial costumes The nobles, owners of a large part of the land, valiantly supported, with their vassals, the heavy and perilous burdens caused by the wars. We know what the battles of Bouvines, Courtrai, Crécy and Azincourt cost the nobility and how many families disappeared. In order to preserve the nobility, on which the organisation of society was based, the sovereigns could find no other way than to create a new one; this was the origin of the letters of ennoblement.

The first lord of Lalaing mentioned by Carpentier in his history of Cambrai and Cambrésis, and by M. Maloteau de Villerode, in his genealogy of the main houses of France and the Netherlands, is Simon, lord of Lalaing, who lived in 1136. He was given as his wife Reynette de Mottenghien, daughter of Charles, known as the Mutin, lord of Mottenghien and Molenghien, and Richilde of Azincourt. From this marriage were born GÉRARD, successor to the lordship of Lalaing, and MAHAUT OR MARIE, who married Guillaume déHalnaut, lord of Château-Thierry in the county of Namur, between Sambre-et-Meuse. He lived in 1170. To search this document PDF : Access to the research Sources: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_LalaingSource gallica.bnf.fr /...

TOME 2 Gules ten lozenges argent (these lozenges are ancient "tetons", large nails used to reinforce a wooden shield covered with leather; originally neither joined nor abutted). The origin of the coat of arms comes from the defensive role of Lalaing for the town of Douai. The coat of arms of Lalaing being identical to that of Douai (full gules) but reinforced with ten iron nails, it means Bras-de-Fer and probably refers to Baudouin I of Flanders, since Douai means forearm in Gallo-Roman. The House of Lalaing is an important Belgian noble family (Flanders/Hainaut) to which the Lords of Lalaing belong. It originated from the House of Forest (vassal of the Count of Flanders), which was originally from Forest-sur-Marque, now in France near Lille (former county of Flanders), and gave numerous governors and generals to the service of the sovereigns of Hainaut, the Dukes of Burgundy and then the Kings of Spain, as well as seven Grand Bailiffs of Hainaut, Stadhouders of Holland, Zeeland and Gelderland, and twelve Knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The family...

Beaulaincourt is said to be a younger branch of the Busnes branch which is said to have borne Gules two lions sejant, tails crossed, and to have shouted: all sejant.
