This regiment was created in Majorca in 1810 but, having supported the Liberal cause against Ferdinand VII, was dissolved in 1823 with the rest of the Liberal Army. It was reorganized and dissolved several times. This flag was used until a new model red-yellow-red flag was issued, and later on from the reign of Amadeus I until Alphonse XIII.
