The Calvert family founded the Maryland Colony in the early 17th century. Led by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, they established the colony in 1632 as a refuge for English Catholics facing persecution. The Calverts promoted religious tolerance and diverse settlement, which contributed to Maryland's unique character in colonial America.

What is the coat of arms for Calvert?

The flag of MARYLAND holds the key to this question....== == The black and gold design on the flag is the coat of arms of the Calvert family. It was granted to George Calvert as a reward for his storming a fortification during a battle (the vertical bars approximate the bars of the palisade). The red and white design is the coat of arms of the Crossland family, the family of Calvert's mother, and features a cross bottony. Since George Calvert's mother was an heiress, he was entitled to use both coats of arms in his banner. The Flag of the State of Maryland consists of the heraldic banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. It is the only state flag in the United States to be based on British heraldry.== ==
