Flag of Wallachia.svg Flag of Wallachia (cca. 1593 - 1611). This model was composed by Romanian heraldist Dan Cernovodeanu, after two (almost) identical contemporary descriptions of the flag of en:Michael the Brave (1593 - 1601) and en:Radu Şerban (1602 - 1611):
The flag is from white damascus on which is depicted a raven [sic!] with a red double cross and a red star in his berk, standing over a green juniper. (Ciro Spontoni, Historia della Transilvania, Venice, 1638)
The bird is a combination between aquila and raven, as it appears on contemporary seals.
A seal of Duke Premislaus II from 1290 shows the ruler holding a banner emblazoned with a crowned eagle. During the reign of King Ladislaus (r. 1320–1333), the red cloth with the White Eagle was established as the royal banner. The orientation of the eagle on the banner varied; its head could point either upwards or towards the hoist.
