thanks for the bear Jola. The bear is also a heraldic symbol in the Bruges flag. According to legend, a bear was the oldest citizen of Bruges. It started when in 862 Baldwin I, Count of Flanders kidnapped Judith, the daughter of the French king Charles the Bold, from a monastery in Senlis (France).After the kidnapping, Baldwin married Judith, but was not accepted by her father as his new son-in-law. To punish Baldwin, Charles the Bold sent him off to one of his northern territories, the area now known as Flanders. When Baldwin and his new bride arrived in the forests surrounding the area where now Bruges lies, he did not see one living soul. Suddenly, a ferocious bear came out of the woods. Baldwin killed the animal with his spear. According to legend, the bear crept out of his skin and took his place in the town weapon of Bruges. Later he received a statue in the Porters' Lodge.
