The w:Cross of Alcoraz traditionally originated with the Battle of Alcoraz (in 1096) as the battle shield of King Peter I of Aragon, inspired by the legendary miraculous intervention of Saint George in the reconquista of Huesca. The earliest surviving evidence of these arms is the chancery seal of Peter III of Aragon, circa 1281, most likely used as the King's personal coat of arms, alluding to the spirit of the crusades and his ancestral namesake, Peter I of Aragon. The Cross of Alcoraz was attributed to the Kingdom of Aragon from the mid XVth century, and was also adopted as the royal standard of the Kingdom of Sardinia from the second half of the XVth century, when the island was a territory of the Crown of Aragon
