The origins of this flag must be searched from the conquest of Sardinia by the king of Aragón (modern Spain) in 1323 and becoming a subsequent part of this Kingdom and the Kingdom of Spain since 1492 up to 1720. Sardinia adopted this flag which was the flag of the Aragonese king, the St. Georges Cross which one moorish head in each quarter. These heads were added to the Aragonese flag in 1096 after the battle of Alcoraz (Huesca, Spain) where tradition says that the King of Aragón killed four moorish chiefs in battle and appears in Heraldry since 1281 as the coat of arms of Peter III, king of Aragón. Therefore its adoption in 1323 from the incorporation of this island to The Crown of Aragón as the Kingdom of Sardinia.
kind regards
