The Castile and Leon flag is reputedly the first to have flown on American territory, since it was the one used by Christopher Columbus on behalf of the Spanish government who subsidized his journeys.
The Spanish flag being relatively new – it was first used at the end of the eighteenth century – the kings of Spain used to fly the flags of the different kingdoms that joined together at the end of the Middle Ages.
José Gabriel Barbero, 27 Jan 1999
US commercial sites sell a historical "Columbus flag" which is not the Castile and Leon one but a standard containing the initials F (Fernando) and Y (Ysabel) with a cross between the initials and crowns above them.
