''I know a hawk from a handsaw'' - Hamlet, at the time he says that, has identified R & G as "flying the enemy flag" in that they are employed by Claudius.

England's archenemy in those days was the Spanish empire. Spanish vessels flew two different ensigns of note. One was the Spanish royal eagle, and the other was the Burgundy Cross. Both ensigns were on a background of the red-white-yellow tricolor of Spain.

The royal eagle was flown by the galleons which were headed to the Americas. The Burgundy Cross was flown by Spanish ships that were supporting the Spanish side in the war in the Netherlands. Both ensigns were on enemy ships, from the English point of view, but they were distinct, both symbolically and strategically.
