JOHN OF GAUNT
Michael Faul, one of England’s foremost flag experts, adds the following explanation to this rarest of flags: The basic design is the English Royal Standard
of 1340-1377 and 1399-1405. John of Gaunt bore these arms as a son of
Edward II, but with what is termed a differencing. Across the top is what is heraldically
described as a "label double ermine". In normal English heraldry, a white label of
three points indicates the eldest son. On the death of the father, the holder of the
arms, the eldest son abandons the label and assumes the unvaried arms as borne by his
father. Younger sons have other "differencings" (e.g. a
crescent for the second son, a mullet for the third and so on). Should the eldest son have a son while still
using the label, that son uses a label of five points and if he also has a son while his grandfather
is alive, that son uses a label of seven points. Possibly due to the life-expectancy of the
time, they never went further than seven. The exception is in royal arms. There the sons
of the monarch always have the label of three points, and do not use the junior
differencings (crescent, mullet etc). They are distinguished by additions to the
points of the label. In the case of John of Gaunt the addition took
the form of two ermine spots on each point. As a result of his marriage to Constance,
daughter of Pedro the Cruel of Castille and León, John added an inescutcheon of those arms. This
marriage formed the basis for his claim to the Castilian throne after Pedro's death,
and his subsequent foray into Spain, which ended in failure. The variant of these
arms, also shown at http://www.tmealf.com/royal.htm,
shows the English arms with John's differencing
flanked by the arms of Castille and León. It is likely that he would have used this
pattern only while in Spain, in part as a courtesy and in part to state his
claim to the throne.

HERE IS WHAT OUR CLUB MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY..."I am very pleased with the 4ft x4ft German Imperial Standard (1890-1918)! Excellent detail." "The Florida 1861 and Society of the Cincinnati flags are just great. Can't wait to get them up on a pole.
" "The quality of the Prussian and Mexican flags is just WOW! The fineness of the detail is remarkable - both as to the quality of the artwork and the precision of the printing. The Prussian and Mexican flags becomes only the second and third flags in my collection that are double layered (the other is a Saudi Arabian flag from the Sydney Olympics). Your historical flags will certainly become vexillological heirlooms that will be treasured for decades to come." Ralph Kelly, Flag Expert & Collector, Beecroft, Australia "I got my replica of Maximilian's Imperial standard yesterday, and it is magnificent." David Ott, Beaumont, Texas "Les drapeaux [German & Austro-Hungarian Empires] sont fantastiques! Merci beaucoup d'entreprendre cette initiative!!" David-Roger Gagnon, Montréal, Québec "This German Imperial Standard seems too beautiful to fly outdoors -- it should be guarded as a tapestry." Harry Oswald, College Station, Texas "Tausend Dank für die ausgezeichnete Kaiserliche Flagge !!! Très impressionnant, mille bravos +++++++++++++++++++" Dr. Philippe Rault, Brittany, France "Wow! The German Imperial Standard arrived today. Great job on this! The artwork is exquisite and the attention to detail is impressive. It is very well made – I look forward to the Prussian Royal and Austro-Hungarian Imperial standards. Still want you to make the Imperial Russian Standard. There may be others available but none could equal yours in quality of detail and construction. Please reconsider." Eric MacCallan, Earlysville, Virginia | |
