why did the french use this flag during the bourbon restoration?

It suits their national spirit

This was their traditional flag from before the revolution

I get it: white flag=cowards.

Epic joke FTW my friend.

What did they use for a truce flag???

The white truce flag meme was derived from this flag.

Before this, simply surrendering your banner, whatever flag you had, was sign of surrender.

This is /his/, not /b/, child

That was a middle age custom, then it changed to flying the enemy flag to say "I surrender" (this was somewhat used until about 1900)

So the meme comes from the fact that people showed the french flag all the time for like a century when they were getting btfo by the sun king

You show the enemy's flag(they always had these on stock for some reason)

>they always had these on stock for some reason
How else are they supposed to surrender?
Heraldry and seals were a huge thing back then, an entire industry on their own.

I'm just saying it is weird to have the flag of your enemy in the trunk, imagine walking around with an israeli flag or something

>>2282763
I live in one of the poorest functional ghettos in the US, and half the people carry an Israeli flag, it's fucking surreal. There's even a guy who rides around town in a low-rider bicycle with the US flag, the Israeli flag, and a bunch of other flags strapped to it, and a small marquee with a Bible verse on it.

What's hilarous is that the French unironically waved this white flag in battle and won

>>2282193
Because ideologues wear their political tendency on their sleeves

Red = revolution
Blue = liberalism
White = reaction

Many Sunni Muslim nations have green flags, while the most hardcore Salafis use black flags like Muhammad did
