History

The Imperial Order of the Yoke and Arrows was established on 1 October 1937 by Francisco Franco during the second year of the Spanish Civil War.[2] The symbol of the yoke and arrows, known in Spanish as the yugo and flechas, was a symbol of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain during the late 15th and early 16th century, but was also used as a symbol of Falangism.[1] The motto of the order was "To Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's," in reference to Jesus' saying from Chapter 22 in the Gospel of Matthew.[2][3] On 27 January 1943, a decree established that the award would be one of the leaders of the Falangist movement in Francoist Spain.[2][6] The award was discontinued in 1976 during the Spanish transition to democracy but was not formally abolished until 2022.[3][4]
