History of the Fleur de Lis Flag


The Fleur de Lis Flag was used from 1400 until 1590. The most important flag carried by explorers and settlers was most likely the royal flag, since this was a symbol of the authority of the king in the new lands. In the early sixteenth century the French royal flag was blue with three gold fleurs-de-lis representing directly the shield in the royal French coat of arms. Fleur-de-lis translates to "Flower of the Lily".
