The conquerer, before leaving Santiago de Cuba, brought
a small flag that, after remaining a few months in what
would become New Spain, changed for another with the image
of the Holy Virgin, which he worshiped. This labaro
was the one he used throughout the Conquest.
Jorge Candeias, 27 Oct 1997, translating from

Bandera Mexicana website
