The Cortez Flag Once Carried to Tenochtitlan Now in San Antonio
A famed battle pennant of Cortez, 15 by 5 feet of Chinese silk with gold and silver threads, depicting the Cross of Calatrava and religious symbols, rests in a San Antonio safety vault. Owned by Senor Ignacio Fernandez y Arteaga, it links Mexico’s conquest history to the Madero era and beyond.

Mystery Cortez flag linked to Mexican leaders and exile
The article traces Ernesto Fernandez y Arteaga and the Cortez flag from its 1517 Spain origin to its role in Mexican politics. It details Fernandez’s influence with Madero and Carranza, assassinations threats at 520 Macon Street, and the flag’s storied custody across homes and countries. The narrative ties to Diaz era figures and historic relocations ending with Fernandez’s private life before supporting Madero.
