Republic of Dubrovnik, formed in XIII century, was independent state throughout the history and respectable trading power until it was made to an end by Napoleonic army which entered the city on 27-DEC-1807 with consent of city government. The Republic formally existed for a month more, until 31-JAN-1808. The flags of the Republic were banned on 27-DEC, but city government ignored the order, so the flags were virtually used until end of January next year.

There are several older sources (and many newer repeating error) showing several designs of flag of Dubrovnik - quartered white and blue; quartered white and red; white with three blue diagonal stripes; and similar. Such flags were never used, nor there is any document in Dubrovnik archives that would indicate such flags. The most notable error is one with diagonal stripes originating from an erroneous representation of the arms of Dubrovnik in Slovnik naucný, Praha, 1874, and repeated since in several lexicons and encyclopaedias.
