History
The first flag was the flag of teh Brunanter Republic. It was frst used in 1451 and the law said that it was the official flag of the Republic (The official flag or the Republic shal be a horizontallyaligned tricolour of equal proportions with the colours red, white and gold. It was used until the republic was dissolved in 1475 by Leuvis Van Damme. When Brunant became a monarchy the flag stopped being official since the law only said it was the republic's flag. For the next 12 yeasrs the Republican tricolour was used by the government as the official flag although no laws made it official. No flags of this age survive.

In 1477 the government began using a tricolour with a ramped lion in the middle. Still no laws made it official but it was used by the Kingdom for a few centuries. The current flag dates from the 17th century. A flag of "two halves, with the sinister side having a ramped lion on red and the dextrous side having a black saltire cross on white. This was the naval ensing of the Realmarine. The legend of the flag comes from the Franco-Brunanter War period. During the Siege of Grijzestad the fort used a tricolour flag but the flag did not fly well in the wind. When the flag was replaced by the naval ensign it flew well in the wind and gave new courage to the defendesr who had new spirits and pushed nback the French.
