Banda de Castilla
Banda de Castilla , the ribbon of Castile , has become the Spanish coat of arms over a flag . The herald's image has its origin in the Spanish knightly order Orden de la Banda . It is only shown on war flags and later on coats of arms. It was considered a symbol of the Castilian kings. From Alfonso XI. The order was founded in 1330/1332 for the reward of those who were loyal to the king and to strengthen royal power, but as a sign of the order had no uniform color and image. It was not until Henry IV of Castile that a uniform, now known and widespread representation was established and handed down.
