One of the most obvious traits inherited from Spain are the standing kings kings from Italian, Portuguese, or Germanic cards are seated.

Between the transition from the suit of bells to tiles there was a suit of crescents. The French suit insignia was derived from German suits around 1480. Playing cards arrived in Europe from Mamluk Egypt around 1370 and were already reported in France in 1377. The English pattern of French-suited cards is so widespread that it is also known as the International or Anglo-American pattern. Other reasons for their popularity were the simplicity of the suit insignia, which simplifies mass production, and the popularity of whist and contract bridge.
