Pennon of the Conquest
The Pennon of the Conquest (Spanish: Pendón de la Conquista; Valencian: Penó de la Conquesta) is the flag raised by the Moors of Valencia, Spain, on September 28, 1238, on the tower of Alī-Bufāt, later called Torre del Temple, to indicate their surrender to the troops of king James I of Aragon, ending the 1238 Siege of Valencia. This episode is known from the quote entered by the king himself in his Chronicle: "We were in the riverbed, between the gardens and the tower; and when we saw our flag upon the tower, we dismounted from our horse, and heading eastwards we cried from our eyes and kissed the earth for the great mercy God had made to us".
