Talk:Flag of Quebec

The Fleurdelisé takes its fleurs de lis from the banner of the king of France, and its blue field and white cross from the ancient national flag of the same country." I believe this would be correct if it read "The Fleurdelisé takes its fleurs de lis from the banner of the Bourbon kings of France." I believe there was never a white cross on the French flag.

- There was a white cross on some French flags at the time of New France. I remember two square flags of the time, one blue, one red (with a white cross on each). This design partly inspired the Drapeau de Carillon. --Liberlogos 15:05, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Most excellent source
For those interested in the subject, I have found a really good English language source on the history of Quebec's flag. It is very accurate and comparable to various texts I read on the same subject in French. Here is the link:

The site contains much info on the flags of the other provinces and the federal state.
