 The "Senyera" in its simplest form—sometimes referred to as the "quatribarrada"—gained a certain (but not overwhelming) support in Valencianist circles, and
was on view at the march in favour of autonomy of 9 October 1977.The Statute of Morella proposed that the flag of the autonomous community be the "Senyera" with the royal coat of arms at the centre (those of Peter III of Aragon (1336–87), who did much to formalize the autonomy of the Kingdom of Valencia within the Crown of Aragon).This was adopted as the flag of the "Consell del País Valencià" on 24 April 1979
