The heads looking in the left direction but once they look to the right and the headbands over there eyes. This still showing on the coat of arms. There are many stories of the origins of this flag but the most accepted one is this story. King Peter I of Aragon was besieging Hueasca in current northern Spain in 1096.

For this help he granted them the use of an Saint George's Cross flag with the four heads on it. Flag with an legendary status and some mystery.
