\n\nA Parliamentarian battle flag, back after 350 years. This ultra-rare English Civil War battle standard, due to go on public display for the first time in three and a half centuries, was kept and preserved by 11 generations of the same English country family. It will be on permanent show at the National Army Museum in London as from this coming Thursday. (National Army Museum).

\n\nSir Horatio Cary\u2019s Regiment of Horse\n\n

\n

Cary\u2019s own troop\u2019s cornet was red with a creature in a barrel and the motto \u2018come out you cuckold\u2019 (Illustration 1) referring to the Earl of Essex\u2019s notorious marital problems. The creature might be a \u2018fox in a barrel\u2019 or perhaps a stag or reindeer without his antlers.

\n

The major\u2019s cornet simply bore the motto \u2018cuckolds we come\u2019 (Illustration 2).

So there\u2019s actually a 400 year old tradition of reactionary shitheads calling their opponents cucks?
