Comment
Jacques Cartier, born around 14912 in Saint-Malo3 in the Duchy of Brittany, where he died on September 1, 1557, was a Breton and later French navigator and explorer who, commissioned by King François I of France, reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1534 and explored the surrounding territories, to which he gave the name "Canada".https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Cartier
The flag of Brittany is composed of nine horizontal black and white stripes of equal width, arranged alternately, and a white upper canton (on the mast side) dotted with a multitude of ermine spots.
