The different traditions in the lowlands are the result of '''mixed influences, especially German and French'''. It is thanks to the work of people such as [[Johannes_Rietstap| Jonannes Baptista Rietstap] in the XIX th century that the lowland really developed a distinct and codified tradition.
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>
