Description of the flag

Queens' College, Cambridge University (GB), photos by Sarah Grice and "robep", respectively show the flag is a banner of arms http://flickr.com/photos/sgrice/2287241316/ and http://flickr.com/photos/robep/2247523229/. The official site at http://www.queens.cam.ac.uk/default.asp?MIS=2 includes a blazon of the arms at http://www.queens.cam.ac.uk/Queens/Misc/arms.html:
"These arms are those of the first foundress Queen, Margaret of Anjou, which she derived from those of her father René, Duke of Anjou, with the addition of a green border for the College. The six quarters of these arms represent the six lordships (either actual or titular) which he claimed. Quarterly of six:

Barry of eight argent and gules (for Hungary);
Azure semy of fleurs-de-lis or, a label of three points gules (for Anjou Ancient or Naples);
Argent, a cross potent between four crosses crosslet potent or (for Jerusalem);
Azure semy of fleurs-de-lis or, a bordure gules (for Anjou Modern);
Azure semy of crosses crosslet fitchy, two barbels haurient addorsed or (for Bar);
Or, on a bend gules three alerions displayed argent (for Lorraine);
all within a bordure vert."

(Margaret's father is known to the French as "le bon Roi René" - I'm afraid most of his titles, including the royal ones, were very nominal indeed. The impressive shield is make-believe.)
