{{blockquote|from archiv.org: https://archive.org/details/williamoforangep0002robb/page/266/mode/2up?q=Je+Maintiendrai, p. 267 here, "From the mast-head of Den Briel the Prince’s banner streamed out defiantly bearing the legend ‘Pro Religione et Libertate — Je Maintiendrai’."The banner read: "Pro Religione et Liberate -- Je Maintiendrai", which translated means "For Religion and Liberty -- I will maintain". Je Maintiendrai is the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau
- ↑ Flag of William III. Retrieved on 23 May 2024. ""It is a white flag. Shifted to the hoist are the arms of William III. The shield is topped by a golden coronet with fleur de lys and crosses patty. The shield is supporter by a golden (= yellow), rampant, guardant lion; crowned golden at the dexter side and a silver (= white), forcene, reguardant unicorn, wearing a golden (= yellow) coronet around his neck and a necklace (or chain) of the same colour hanging down from the coronet. Above the whole ensemble is an inscription in black, serif initials "FOR THE PROTESTANT RELIGION ANT THE LIBERTY OF ENGLAND" and beneath the shield between the supporters feet another inscription of the same kind "JE MAINTIENDRAY". The flag is topped by a swallow tailed blue over white over red streamer. The streamers white head is divided by a red St. George's Cross. I think the phrase should read "I maintain" (as in uphold, will support and/or adhere to) the liberties of England etc. "Je maintiendrai" (modern spelling) is on the coat of arms of the Netherlands, and derives from an ancestor of William of Orange who vowed to maintain the independence of the Netherlands against the Spanish powers in the Middle Ages. The meaning is "I will maintain" or "I will persevere". The flag is found with variations in several sources: Neubecker 1932, p.36 )(see full reference at end of paragraph)(https://www.fotw.info/images/g/gb_will3.jpg), image 124; Diderot & D'Alembert 1780; suite of plate 17, image no.32 (see full reference at end of paragraph)(https://www.fotw.info/images/g/gb_wil3.jpg); Diderot & D'Alembert 1780, edition 1780, plate 17 suite, image no.34 (see full reference at end of paragraph)(https://www.fotw.info/images/g/gb_wil3w.jpg). The last contains the arms as described above and is topped by a royal crown with four crosses patty and four fleur de lis and an imperial globe at the top, all in gold. The shield is surrounded by a blue collar, being the Order of the Garter held by a golden belt buckle and with the order's motto around the belt in golden initials. The whole ensemble is shifted to the hoist. In the coloured 1751 edition the belt is red.""
