As I’m not an expert I was checking about the Spanish flags shown at the end of the episode 5 because I thought it was early for the red/yellow one. That flag was indeed first used in 1785. Before that the one used was white (the one in the ship on the right)
The one at the back is correct, though. It’s the Burgundy Cross or St. Andrew’s Cross used by the Habsburgs.
30, She/her. Used to be DreamingPagan a long time back. Multi-fandom, mostly Black Sails these days but with a lot of Tolkien and funny things interspersed. Complete language and history nerd - be warned. I write fic and occasionally I talk about ships.
