Lord of Grobbendonk
The black bird is the weapon to the Schetz family
Lord of Grobbendonk is a feudal Flemish title originating from Grobbendonk. This title belongs today to the Belgian nobility.
History
The origin of this important hereditary title goes back to the 13th century.[1] The lordship was in possession of different Flemish noble houses at different times: van Wilre, van Crayenhem, Brant, van Jauche, van Mastaing, and finally Schetz. The lordship was created a county in 1637 by royal decree of King Philip IV of Spain. Currently it is held by the descendants of the house of Schetz: the current duke of Ursel is still Count of Grobbendonk.[2]
