Coat of arms of the Counts of Flanders

Walloon Flanders (in French Flandre wallonne, in Latin Comitia Flandriae Wallonensis) is part of the County of Flanders.

Walloon Flanders usually means the same territory, the bailiwick of Douai and the castelleny of Lille, but in two different periods : In the Spanish Low Countries, it was that area which signed the Union of Arras on January 6, 1579. And after the Treaties of Nijmegen, Walloon Flanders was an intendancy of the French province of Flanders and Hainaut.
