The '''Royal Standard (Spain)''' (''Estandarte Real'' or ''Estandarte del Rey'') is the official [[Heraldic flag|flag]] of the [[King of Spain]]. It comprises a crimson square, traditional colour of both [[Crown of Castile|Castilian]] and [[Monarchy of Spain|Spanish monarchs]], with the [[Coat of arms of the King of Spain|coat of arms of the King]] in the center. It is raised over the official royal residence in [[Madrid]], the [[Palacio de la Zarzuela]] and other [[Spanish royal sites]], when the monarch is in residence and displayed on his official car as small flag. The current flag was adopted when [[Felipe VI]] acceded the throne as King of Spain on 19 June 2014. The Royal Standard is regulated by Rule 2 of Royal Decree 527/2014, 20 June, an amendment to Title II of Spanish Royal Decree 1511/1977 adopting Flags, Standards, Guidons, Insignia and Emblems Regulation.<ref name="BOE527">{{cite web |url=http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2014/06/21/pdfs/BOE-A-2014-6525.pdf |title=Real Decreto 527/2014, de 20 de junio, por el que se crea el Guión y el Estandarte de Su Majestad el Rey Felipe VI y se modifica el Reglamento de Banderas y Estandartes, Guiones, Insignias y Distintivos, aprobado por Real Decreto 1511/1977, de 21 de enero. |date=20 June 2014 |website= BOE Spanish Official Journal|series= |publisher= |location= |page= |pages= |at= |language= Spanish|trans-title=Royal Decree 527/2014 setting up the Guidon and Standard of HM King Felipe VI and amends Standards, Guidons, Insignia and Emblems Regulation, adopted on Royal Decree 1511/1977|access-date=2014-06-21}}</ref>

==The Royal Guidon==
[[File:Guión del Rey de España.svg|thumb|270px|Royal guidon since 2014]]

The [[Colours, standards and guidons|Royal Guidon]] (''Guión''), the military personal ensign, was also adopted on 19 June 2014. It is described by Rule 1 of Royal Decree 527/2014, an amendment to Title II, Rule 1 of Spanish Royal Decree 1511/1977.<ref name="BOE527" />[[File:Pendón de la Nueva España.jpg|thumb|left|210px|A historical royal standard used in the viceroyalty of [[New Spain]].]]

It is similar to the Royal Standard except the Royal Guidon has a gold surround. It is made of [[Taffeta|silk's taffeta]] and measures 80 x 80&nbsp;cm in size. It is the personal command sign or positional flag of the monarch and traditionally was carried with him. The proportions of the coat of arms are smaller than on the standard.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.heraldo.es/noticias/nacional/2014/06/19/felipe_cuenta_con_escudo_guion_propios_294797_305.html |title=Felipe VI ya cuenta con escudo y guión propios |language=Spanish |trans-title=Felipe VI has his own coat of arms and guidon |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= 19 June 2014|website=www.heraldo.es |publisher= |access-date=2014-06-20}}</ref>

==Historical standards, guidons and banners of arms of Spanish monarchs==
The heraldic standard, also known as the ''pendón real'', has been, as in other European monarchies, the personal flag of the Spanish monarchs and has been used in events of greater solemnity. It was formed by the elements of the monarch's shield without the exterior adornments and has not recovered since its disappearance in 1931.

The royal standard is the personal banner of the monarch. The [[Military colours, standards and guidons|guidon]], of military use, was formed from the reign of Philip II by the same elements of the standard but incorporating the [[Cross of Burgundy]], a fringe and a ''cordoncillo''. During the period of the [[House of Austria]], the Cross of Burgundy did not appear frequently in the royal standard. The [[Catholic Monarchs]] and [[Charles I of Spain|Charles I]] (as monarchs of Castile) used the guidon of the Castilian monarchs, the ''[[Banda de Castilla]]'' which was a square flag of crimson color in which there was a band between two dragons. The Catholic Monarchs included in the Band of Castile the yoke and arrows which were replaced with the [[Columns of Hercules]] during the reign of Charles I. [[Fernando the Catholic]] also used the guidon that corresponded to him as monarch of Aragon. The Catholic Monarchs also frequently used, since 1492, a banner that consisted of a white cloth with their coat of arms.

===Evolution===
*The [[Heraldic flag#Banner|Banner]] is the ceremonial ensign of the monarch and the royal standard or royal flag is his ensign for public use.
*From [[Philip II of Spain|Philip II]]'s reign the Royal Guidon was the same as the royal standard or royal flag with a [[Cross of Burgundy Flag|cross of Burgundy]] and gold surround.

After the 1492 Conquest of Granada, the kingdom was represented in the Royal [[Division of the field|Arms]] by the addition ''enté en point'' of Granada's arms.

Hence the arrangement became, quarterly: 1. and 4. grand quarters, quarterly: A. and D. quarterly Castile-León, B. and C. per pale Aragon-Sicily, the grand quarter enté en point for Granada; 2. and 3. grand quarters, quarterly Austria, Burgundy ancient, Burgundy modern, Brabant, with an escutcheon per pale Flanders and Tyrol. In 1518 their son [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles I of Spain]] (Charles V as [[Holy Roman Emperor]]) adopted a banner of arms that comprised these arms on a crimson background. The arms were crowned with the old royal crown (an open crown). After his election as Holy Roman Emperor in 1519 Charles used more often the [[Flag of Germany#History|imperial banner]]: A shield with his own arms surmounting a black double-headed eagle on a golden background.<ref>[http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/servlet/SirveObras/79116109436800729754491/207731_0004.pdf The Standard of Charles I of Spain, Cervantesvirtual.com (Cervantes Virtual Library) {{in lang|es}}]</ref>

Originally Philip II used the simplified arms as devised for his father, namely per fess with the Spanish quarters in chief and the Austrian quarters in base.

After the [[Iberian Union|dynastic union]] with [[Portugal]] in 1580, the arms of the Monarchy became per fess, in chief per pale, A. quarterly [[Kingdom of Castile|Castile]] and [[Kingdom of León|Leon]], B. per pale [[Aragon]] and Aragon-[[Sicily]], the whole enté en point [[Granada]] and with an escutcheon of [[Portugal]] on the honor point; in base quarterly [[Austria]], [[Duchy of Burgundy|Burgundy]] ancient, Burgundy modern and [[Duchy of Brabant|Brabant]], with an escutcheon (in the nombril point) per pale [[Flanders]] and [[German Tyrol|Tyrol]].
