This term later came to our <strong>language<\/strong> What <strong>ensign<\/strong>: the officer who, in certain armed forces, has the <strong>lower graduation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The concept emerged in the <strong>Iberian Peninsula<\/strong>, where it was used with reference to the representative or second head of a king.  Over the years, however, the junior officer was called ensign.  The students of a <strong>academy<\/strong>Thus, they are second lieutenants before becoming lieutenants.<\/p>\n<p>Whoever was in charge of carrying the flag in a troop received the name of <strong>Major Ensign<\/strong>.  Similar task had the <strong>ensign to the king<\/strong>, a magistrate who carried the banner of the monarchy in those battles in which the own <strong>King<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Currently the notion can refer to different ranges according to the <strong>country<\/strong>.  On <strong>Argentina<\/strong>, for <strong>example<\/strong>, Ensign is the initial degree in the officers of the <strong>Air Force<\/strong>.  When a student graduates from the military academy, he becomes an ensign and later promoted to lieutenant.  Also in the <strong>Gendarmerie<\/strong> there is the rank of ensign, preceded by <strong>sub-ensign<\/strong> and followed by <strong>first ensign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On <strong>Colombia<\/strong>, the <strong>Policeman<\/strong>, the <strong>army<\/strong>, the <strong>Air Force<\/strong> and the <strong>Navy<\/strong> They have the rank of lieutenant.  In all cases, it is linked to the last year of training and applies to those who are about to graduate from the <strong>school<\/strong> cadets.<\/p>\n<p>If we focus on the maritime terrain, we can find the <strong>frigate ensign<\/strong> (the lower ranking officer) and to <strong>ensign of the ship<\/strong> (the rank that follows frigate ensign), to cite two cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Royal Ensign of the Incas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Alferez.jpg\" alt=\"Ensign\" width=\"240\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47001\"\/>Centuries ago there was a <strong>institution<\/strong> of an Indian type that allowed to name a <strong>Royal Ensign of Naturals<\/strong>, <strong>Royal Ensign of Noble Indians<\/strong> or, as can be seen from the title, <strong>Royal Ensign of the Incas<\/strong>.  Its creation took place throughout the Viceroyalty, specifically in the Peruvian city of Cuzco (also written with <strong>s<\/strong> instead of <strong>z<\/strong>, <em>Cusco<\/em>), in the middle of the 16th century and through the Royal Decree.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos I of Spain supported the birth of this class of leadership specifically to recognize the support of <strong>Christopher Paullo Inca<\/strong> during the <strong>conquest<\/strong> del Collao (also known as <em>Titicaca plateau<\/em>, <em>Andean highlands<\/em>, <em>Collao plateau<\/em> or <em>south american highlands<\/em>) and the victory against <strong>Manco Inca Yupanqui<\/strong>, the first Vilcabamba rebel of the four who demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p>Crist\u00f3bal Paullo Inca was, therefore, the first Royal Ensign of the Incas, but later other people enjoyed the same honor, and among them were Ynga Pascac, Cayo Topa, Guallpa Roca and Don Felipe Cari Topa.<\/p>\n<p>While the <strong>viceroy<\/strong> Toledo remained in Cuzco, the Inca nobility had to undergo a change of organization to become made up of twelve houses (lineages or panacas), which corresponded to each of the Incas who had ruled before the Spanish invasion.  As of the year 1595, it was decided that these houses would be represented by two electors, who, together, would make up the <strong>Cabildo de los Indios Nobles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The twenty-four electors who were part of the Cabildo had to appoint a Royal Alferez by means of <strong>suffrage<\/strong>.  He himself had to leave during the procession that took place in the feast of the Spanish patron Santiago Ap\u00f3stol, wearing typical Inca clothing and carrying the royal standard.  Under the <em>llauto<\/em>, the outfit that the Inca rulers used to wear, you could appreciate the <em>mascapaicha<\/em>, a tassel of red wool, gold threads and feathers that was used in events such as parades.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Ensign of the Incas was accompanied by the correspondent from Spain.  In the series of fifteen paintings called <em>Corpus Christi<\/em>, whose authorship is uncertain, it is possible to appreciate several of the lieutenants of this <strong>epoch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4423&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;ensign&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The classical Arabic word f\u0101ris, which can be translated as \"Knight\", derived&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
