Description
The Cross of Burgundy (Spanish: Cruz de Borgoña) was used most prominently by Spain as a naval flag until 1701 and land battle flag until 1843. It is inspired on the Cross of Saint Andrew and was used on the standards of king Philip the Handsome as early as 1506, following his marriage to Joanna of Castile. The dukes of Burgundy allegedly used the cross during the Hundred Years’ War (1337 – 1453), hence why it is called Burgundian.

I like very much this cross, but it is ironic that the most famous emblem of the Spanish Empire has a French origin. Burgundy is a French territory at present.
