== Features ==
The main feature of this tradition is the use of the '''barred helmet''' (often with a golden trim and a collar) and that for all individual they be from nobility or not. The use of a '''belt''' to attach the shield to the helm is also prominent, especially in Belgian heraldry. Traditionally, the '''torses of Nederlandse coat of arms also have five twists''' contrary to the six often seen in the british isles. <br>
'''Belgian Heraldry''' is also known for blazoning not only the motto but the scroll, indicating the colours of the letters and of the scroll itself. <br>
'''Both system do not have a system of cadency''', all descendent of the armiger inherit his arms equally.
