The origins of the gonfanon, flag of Auvergne !

The Auvergne flag is originally a medieval flag. It is a vexillological adaptation of the original Auvergne coat of arms.

This historical coat of arms is emblazoned as follows in heraldic language: gold to the gonfanon Gules fringed Vert, i. e. it is a shield with a yellow background and a red gonfanon with green piping. The gonfanon differs from the war banner in the sense that it was a four-angled fabric that could also end in a point. The slight difference between a war banner and the gonfanon is that it must be worn vertically rather than horizontally as the banner.

In short, the motif of the flag of Auvergne consists of a flag in a flag. Its origins are not historically confirmed and it is said that the Auvergne coat of arms could have been those of the Counts of Auvergne Robert IV and Guy II of Auvergne as well as those of the banner of the Abbot of Aurillac.

Currently, this flag is the civil flag of the cultural and historical region of Auvergne, which is now administratively part of the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes region since the 2015 territorial reform in France. The Auvergne-Alpes flag in force since 2018 consists of a heterogeneous composition of four flags: the sword of the Auvergne coat of arms, the lion of the Rhône and Lyonnais, the cross of Savoy and the dolphin of the Dauphiné.
