Spanish Galleon flagThe red-white-yellow tricolor flag was established by Charles I with the aim to represent the whole of his dominions, so combining the colours of Austria, Castile and Aragon. Such design didn't consolidate as the Spanish Empire flag though, displaced by the Burgundy cross. However, it experienced some success in Southern Netherlands (where it was adopted as own) and the Spanish Main; as a matter of fact, it inspired some first independence flags two centuries later. The eagle of this particular design is that of Bogotá coat of arms.
