It is said that the first time these all important colors appeared was in 796 A.C. when Pope Leo III gave the different colored ribbons tied together on the pontifical banner to the emperor Charlemagne. The blue represented the church, the white represented virginity and the red commemorated the death of Christian martyrs.

During the middle ages the colors became associated with the reign of France and in many paintings and manuscripts the king is depicted as wearing a red gown with a blue coat decorated with gold fleurs-de-lis. At the time gold was considered the equivalent of white. In the Hundred Years War France’s flag was recognized by a white cross on a blue field, and during the time the Bourbons ruled either a plain white flag or the white cross on a blue field was flown.

The tri-colored flag of France became known through the revolution, where the blue and red were said to represent Paris and the white represented France. After the revolution the White flag of the Bourbon monarchy was used for a time, but was soon replaced by the tri-colored flag again.
