Introduction
I have a small reproduction of an old map made by Fernão
Vaz Dourado in 1576. This map reproduces the southeastern coastal areas
of Africa, from southern Namibia to the easternmost tip of
Somalia. It contains 9 reproductions of flags over those
“city drawings” so common in the maps of that time. These are:
Are these flags really the flags used by those places at the time? Or,
rephrasing the question: are these maps reliable in what concerns flag-info
(they are not in what concerns geo-info, that’s for sure!...)

Old flag on northern Mozambique

Placed in northern Mozambique. The flag is square, with a yellow centre, bordered in
red, with five blue bezants disposed in saltire in the yellow square. This
is evidently a Portuguese flag, but one I never seen before.
