[antir-heralds] How to blazon a flag.

[Ursula Whitcher]

Hmmm, well, wouldn't hurt to spend some time looking into naval flags 
from our period.

This page:

http://tmg110.tripod.com/british1.htm

has modern drawings of sixteenth-century English ensigns.  The basic 
design appears to be horizontal stripes of various colors, with the 
cross of Saint George in the upper left-hand corner.

I think it would make sense to substitute the An Tir populace ensign for 
the cross of Saint George.  So what about Barry gules and argent, on a 
canton argent a lion's head sable?  I don't think this would cause 
registration issues, because one can place a fieldless badge on any field.
