Summary
| Description |
English: All-white banner of Henri of Navarre (the future Henry IV of France) as Huguenot leader in the 1569 Battle of Jarnac. Based on a contemporary watercolor in the Count of Cabra archive, as described by Alfonso de Ceballos-Escalera y Gila. See Comunicaciones del XI Congreso Internacional de Vexilología, 1985, pp. 298–301. The white flag, white sashes, or all-white uniforms were associated with the Huguenot movement as a whole. According to Auguste Racinet, between the battles of Jarnac and Montcontour the Huguenots also used a "yellow and black sash", honoring Palatine Wolfgang of Zweibrücken; both the Huguenots and their Catholic-League adversaries generally used white, though the latter eventually favored green (see: N. W., "Le drapeau huguenot", in Bulletin Historique et Littéraire (Société de l'Histoire du Protestantisme Français), Vol. 44, 1895, pp. 671–672). Author Auguste Callet notes that, at least for a while, the Huguenots and the League shared the white-flag symbolism, though the Leaguers added a red cross on their white banners (Les responsabilités. Lettres d'un gentilhomme de province à Mgr le comte de Chambord, p. 64. Paris: E. Dentu, 1875); a "blue and white flag" was used by the Huguenot fleet of La Rochelle (Nicolae Iorga, "Cronică", in Revista Istorică, Vol. XVIII, Issues 7–9, July–September 1932, p. 293). |
