The County of Flanders started to take control of the neighbouring County of Brabant during the life of Louis II, Count of Flanders (1330-1384), who fought his sister-in-law Joanna, Duchess of Brabant for control of it. The titles were eventually more clearly united under Philip the Good (1396 – 1467), Duke of Burgundy. The County of Loon, approximately the modern Flemish province of Limburg, remained independent under the lordship of the Archbishop of [[Liège]] until the French Revolution, but surrounded by the Burgundians.<ref name="wikipedia" />
The '''Battle of Flanders''' is the name given to series of battles that were fought in Flanders between 1914 and 1918.
