Flags need to be simple so that theyre recognisable and easy to draw from memory
A maximum of 4 colors and easy to remember patterns make a good flag

After Henri de Valois (here called Henryk Walezy) was elected as the king during the first free election we also had this special "French" version with this coat of arms, the one I posted earlier belonged to Sigismund the 3rd from the Vasa dynasty
