The (not always straightforward) history of the Belgian flag... 

➡️Découvrez the origins and eventful history that led to the Belgian flag as we know it today!
If you've ever wondered why the Belgian flag is horizontal in the paintings of 1830, well, I explain that in this episode, in the same way that I tell the story of how the first Belgian flag was designed, how the colours were chosen and how the layout of the flag changed...
An explanation that required me to also touch on two fundamental revolutions in Belgian history: the Brabant Revolution and the Belgian Revolution of 1830.
