Brunantstad (English: City of Brunant), is a city and capital of Brunant Parish. It's shield is exactly thesame as the shield of Brunant Parish.

History
Brunant was originally the home of Marten Sneijder. He brought his family over from the Netherlands in 1416, and Brunant became a small hamlet. Sneijder was chosen by the Convention of Grijzestad as the president, so the capital was moved to Brunant to facilitate things. The Congress met at the newly built Brunants Markthall. After his death, the capital was moved back to Grijzestad. The pirate Mohamed Reisraided Brunant twice, in 1462 and 1469.

Brunant was the site of a major battle during the Brunanter Civil War. In 1756, Brunant (and Castle Neyt) became the first Brunanter territories to come under French control in the Franco-Brunanter War, only becoming liberated in 1758 by Hessian troops. Brunant prospered through the 19th century as the economy turned to cheap manufacturing. The 1930s Depression was especially hard-felt in Brunant, with high unemployment in the city and surroundings.

In 1941 Brunant was occupied by the Germans; this would last until 1944 when it became the first town freed by American troops. Most of the American dead were later buried at the Brunant American Cemetery and Memorial.
