Symbols of Mascaraque

The flag of Mascaraque (photo) is prescribed by an Order issued on 7 March 1995 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 17 March 1995 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 12, pp. 1,154-1,155 (text).
The flag is described as follows:

Flag: Rectangular, in proportions 2:3, horizontally divided in three equal parts, the upper, white, the intermediate, red, and the lower, yellow, which are the dominating colors in the officially approved arms.

The coat of arms of Mascaraque is prescribed by Decree No. 108 issued on 8 September 1987 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 15 September 1987 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 44, p. 2,221 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:

Coat of arms: Spanish shield. Per fess, 1. Argent a castle azure surrounded by two pans (arms of the lineage of the Commoner Juan de Padilla, owner of the castle and domain of Mascaraque) a fess gules the legend "NO TEMIERON" in letters or, 2. Or an olive tree eradicated vert. The shield surmounted by a Royal crown closed.

The Royal Academy of History recommended to simplify the proposed arms to "Per fess, 1. Argent a fess gules charged with the legend "NO TEMIERON" in letters gules, 2. Or an olive tree eradicated vert. The shield surmounted by a Royal crown closed."
The motto, which reads "Rhey did not fear" was granted by the government after the town has set up a militia to support Isabel II during the First Carlist War
[Boletín de la Real Academia de la Historia 184:2, 386. 1987]

There does not seem to be firm evidence that the Padilla lineage that built and owned the castle is related to the Commoner Juan de Padilla.
