English Civil War Cuckold Flag

COME OVT YOV CYCKOLD A flag used in the English Civil War by Horatio Cary referring to the Earl of Essex's notorious marital problems

A red historical flag depicts a small animal inside a barrel alongside the words “COME OVT YOV CYCKOLD,” with a caption explaining that it was supposedly used by Horatio Cary to mock the Earl of Essex’s notorious marital problems. The joke is the absurdly direct and insulting public message on a battle flag, presented as an obscure piece of English Civil War trivia.
