Geographical region located in parts of present-day Belgium, France and the Netherlands (8)

I believe the answer is:

flanders

(Other definitions for flanders that I've seen before include "Belgian region" , "whence a royal mare came" , "WW1 battle area" , "part of Europe" , "Historic European region, now divided between Belgium, the Netherlands and France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
