Belgische Gemeentewapens - Armories communales de Belgique Belgian Civic Heraldry EINE Province : Oost Vlaanderen Incorporated into : 1964 Oudenaarde Origin/meaning : The arms were granted in 1818 and confirmed on August 28, 1847. The meaning and origin of these arms is not known. The arms were likely designed in the early 19th century and after the Belgian independence in 1830 confirmed as such. The local council was granted in 1702 a seal by Marie-Gabrielle de Lalaing, baroness of Eine. The seal showed the arms of the Estate, described as red with a silver escutcheon. Why the council did not apply for these arms in the early 19th century is not known. Literature : Servais, 1955
