The '''bend counter-compony''' stands for Samson’s riddle “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” ''(Judges 14:14)''. The gules for the blood of the lion (which is also a symbol of Flanders) and the gold for the honey (the bees are a symbol of fellowship). The choice of counter-compony also alludes to the armiger's willingness to step out of social norms; indeed, stripes in the middle ages were the symbol of outcasts (prostitutes, butcher, religious minorities), the division of the compony therefore evokes a ripped piece of stripped fabric as a liberation from an oppressive social status. Said counter-compony is also a symbol of his passion for strategy games such as chess. <br>

Jewish people that were slaves in Egypt and will be glorious once the messiah' arrives. <br>
