title="William V, Prince of Orange">William V</a> was forced to flee and the <a href="/wiki/Batavian_Republic" title="Batavian Republic">Batavian Republic</a> (1795–1806) was proclaimed. At first this had no influence on the use of the arms of the former Republic. Then in the following year the lion, that had served for approximately 280 years, was replaced by an allegoric image of a <a href="/wiki/Netherlands_Maiden" class="mw-redirect" title="Netherlands Maiden">"Dutch maiden of Freedom"</a>. In 1802 the Batavian Republic reverted to the Republican lion, although it does not carry seven arrows. </p><p>With the replacement of the Batavian Republic with the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Holland" title="Kingdom of Holland">Kingdom of Holland</a> (1806–1810), the lion of the States General was again adopted. <a href="/wiki/Louis_Bonaparte" title="Louis Bonaparte">Louis Napoleon Bonaparte</a> (brother of the French Emperor <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a>) used as King Louis I a coat of arms that quartered the Dutch lion with the <a href="/wiki/French_Imperial_Eagle" title="French Imperial Eagle">French Imperial Eagle</a>. After the emperor Napoleon abolished the Kingdom of Holland in 1810 the lion again had to leave the stage and the Imperial Eagle was the only image in use. </p><p>In 1813 the French were forced out of the Netherlands and the son of the last Stadholder, <a href="/wiki/William_I_of_the_Netherlands" title="William I of the Netherlands">William VI/I</a>, was proclaimed 'Sovereign Prince' (1813–1815). To symbolize his new status he assumed a new coat of arms. In it the old lion with the sword and arrows made his second reappearance, now with a royal crown upon his head. Again it was placed in the prime locations of a quartered shield (I and IV quarters). In the II and III quarters were the arms of Châlon-Orange-Geneve. The arms of Nassau (Otto) were placed on an escutcheon in the center of the shield. </p><p>The final retirement of the Republican lion came in 1815 with the establishment of the "<a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands" title="United Kingdom of the Netherlands">United Kingdom of the Netherlands</a>". Because this new kingdom comprised not only the lands of the former Dutch Republic but also of the former Austrian or <a href="/wiki/Southern_Netherlands" title="Southern Netherlands">Southern Netherlands</a>, it was also not appropriate to continue the use of the old arms. First a combination with the arms of <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Brabant" title="Duchy of Brabant">Brabant</a> (Sable a Lion Or, now the <a href="/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Belgium" title="Coat of arms of Belgium">coat of arms of Belgium</a>) was considered. In the end the attributes, the sword, arrows and crown, were placed in the care of his older "colleague" from Nassau to symbolize the union between the (now Royal) House of Nassau and the Netherlands. As seen above, this is still the basis of the current coat of arms. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248256098"><div class="mod-gallery mod-gallery-default"><div class="main"><div><ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional nochecker whitebg"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 245px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 240px;
