Flag of North Brabant

The flag of North Brabant (Dutch: vlag van Noord-Brabant or Brabants Bont) consists of a chequy pattern with 24 distinct fields in the colours red and white or gules and argent.

[1] The flag of the province of North Brabant was adopted by the Provincial Council on January 21, 1959.

In addition, the following description was used: "Rectangular, consisting of four horizontal stripes, divided into six adjacent surfaces of red and white and six vertical lines, divided into four adjacent sides of red and white."

The colours gules and argent are used in Brabant standards, flags, and pennants since the proclamation of the County of Louvain (942 CE) during the Lotharingian period.

As of Prinsjesdag 2006, the flags in de Ridderzaal were replaced by tapestries bearing the provincial coat of arms.
