New couple: West Flanders + Parma

Hand-drawn map of Europe and the Mediterranean in 535 AD.

16th century prints depicting the Counts of Flanders.
Note the tabard and the shield, similar to that of the present-day province of Belgian West Flanders.
The main difference is the number of gussets, 9 instead of the current 12.
