No - it'd be later.

I have no idea what their symbols would be. Some sort of dynastic emblems is about all I have for you there.

Latium would not actually use the otl standard.

Nor are the other two going to use the same colors - that Gallia one would have a different background.

That sun would not be on any such flag.

The concept of the Middle Ages as being "dirty" is vastly overrated. Quite frankly, it was no more "dirty" or "corrupt" than any other period. The idea that things "stagnated" is entirely false, as well.

Plagues did not develop in the 1300s. They've been around since the dawn of man. The only change in the 1300s was that a couple of rather strong ones came out of the east, where large-scale disorder and crowding - the breeding conditions for plague - and rolled over Europe. Think of it as being like swine flu, just a touch more powerful.
