Coats of arms of former municipalitie of Sint_Michielsgestel, North Brabant, Netherlands 1817 version
Note: During the application of this coat of arms in 1815 the major did send an old seal from 1618 to the Hoge Raad van Adel. Becausse the colours where unknown that time, it was standard procedure tot give them the colors blue and gold (rijkskleuren, the national colors). The little shield was originally the Coat of Arms of Hendrik van den Bergh (red lion, golden crown, nails and tongue on a silver field) lord of Sint-Michielsgestel. The Hoge Raad van Adel did write in the official decription "Gelderland" (blue shield with golden two tailed lion, red nails and tongue) but however they did drawed (by mistake?) the lion of Holland on the diploma. This coat of arms is a representation of the image as used by the municipality. (Source in Dutch language: bhic.nl)
