Standarte des Königs

1:1
by Jaume Ollé, modified by Santiago Dotor

Square yellow flag, in the center, 3 black stag half-horns, antlered. In four corners, a royal crown.

Norman Martin, May 1998

According to the description on Ströhl 1897, p. 80, the standard with the antlers replaced the former one in 1894. Duke William (1848-1921) from another branch of the house of Württemberg took over in 1891 after the death of King Charles (1864-1891) as William II. (...) William II and Charlotte of Schaumburg-Lippe had only a daughter so (according to Salic law) the right to the throne passed to the branch of Duke Albrecht in 1921.

The publisher of the Flaggenbuch 1905 was Moritz Ruhl who also published his own flag plates. In his 1902 edition he forgot the crowns in the king's standard, which he corrected in the following edition 1906. The standard without crowns was that of the princes.
