The French article about the flag of France ([[fr:Drapeau de la France]]) says explicitely that the de facto national flag of the Kingdom of France was a simple white flag - the lily banner was only used in presence of members of the royal family except the King: When he was present, the white flag had been hoised. To cut a long story short: Please do not insert the lily banner (Pavillon royale de France.svg) anymore, it's the '''wrong flag''' here. [[User:Louis88|Louis88]] |

Regarding White Terror: "Although the King and his ministers opposed the violence, they were ineffectual in taking active steps to stop it."
If the King was so opposed, why did he not halt the violence? The logical inference is that he tacitly supported the elimination of his political enemies. To wit, means and opportunity (White Terror) are coupled with motive. Logically, Louis 18 condoned the violence. "The King and his ministers opposed the violence" does read into historical fact (White Terror happened) an assumed state of mind.
