GRAND AND ROYAL AND NOBLE OATH OF THE CROSSBOWMEN OF NOTRE-DAME AU SABLON

And

GRAND ROYAL SERMENT OF SAINT GEORGES OF THE CROSSBOWMEN OF BRUSSELS

Series of loans: commemorative plate with the profile of the church, small Italian crossbow and small trophy in the shape of a crossbow. The Oaths of the Crossbowmen built the church in the 15th century on the site of their old wooden chapel, located outside the city walls. It was at Sablon. It was in a sandy place called Sablon. Given the massive influx of pilgrims after the arrival of the miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary from Antwerp, they had to build a large church. Both oaths date back to the 14th century. Crossbows were formidable weapons whose quarrels pierced the coat of arms of knights more easily than ordinary arrows shot from a bow. Every year on the occasion of the Feast of the Ascension, the two oaths organize a High Mass in the presence of the representative of the King and the authorities of the City.

They also both have beautiful cellars, true museums, where they practice crossbow shooting.
