Bandeiras da Europa em 1600

Sobre estas bandeiras

Os estados de por volta de 1600, com o Império Espanhol no auge, e a bandeira ou o estandarte que usavam. Quase nenhum estado tinha então bandeira nacional: muitas são estandartes reais ou bandeiras de guerra. Os que não têm bandeira documentada (a Etiópia, por exemplo) ficam de fora. Algumas são aproximadas:

• Monarquia Hispânica: The Cross of Burgundy, flag of the tercios and the fleet of the empire; there was no national flag like today's.
• Reino da França: The royal standard (gold lilies on blue): France had no national flag.
• Sacro Império Romano-Germânico: The emperor's banner: the Empire was a patchwork of states, each with its own flags.
• Estados Papais: The red and yellow of Rome, used until 1808; the popes also flew their own standards.
• Reino da Suécia: The yellow cross on blue was already in use; its shape and shades were settled later.
• República das Duas Nações: The royal banner with Poland's eagle and Lithuania's knight; there was no national flag.
• Ducado da Prússia: A duchy under Polish suzerainty; flag reconstructed from its coat of arms.
• Czarado da Rússia: Ivan the Terrible's banner of the Saviour (Kazan campaign, 1552), from his Illustrated Chronicle: the tsardom flew religious and military banners, with no single flag.
• Império Otomano: One of the Ottoman flags of the 16th to 18th centuries; several were used.
• Canato da Crimeia: A vassal of the Ottoman Empire; flag with the tamga of the Giray dynasty.
• República de São Marinho: A reconstruction of the flag used around 1465-1797; the colour of the last stripe (“alessandrino”) is read in several ways.
• República de Ragusa: Saint Blaise, patron of Ragusa (Dubrovnik), from the flags documented in 1804; the republic flew him earlier too.
