Two Spanish Flags Captured Catalonia 1694 - Battle of Ter

There is an oddity with these flags as Triomphes Louis XIV says they were captured at the battle of Ter in Catalonia in July 1695 - but that battle happened in May 1694, so I am assuming an error by the compiler of the Triomphes. These two flags are clearly related so I have shown them together. As usual they are of an unknown unit.



 

There are still more flags to come which were also captured in Catalonia in 1694. Some are rather elaborate, some much simpler, but all rather attractive in their own way, and all uniquely Spanish.

    1. True of so many flags of the period, I suspect!
