✍️ The Design: Y Ddraig Goch: The Red Dragon of Wales
Few flags are as ancient and mythic as the Welsh flag. This isn't just a national banner; it's a piece of living history, a symbol of a timeless spirit, and frankly, one of the most awesome designs on the planet.
The flag’s story is woven from legend. The stunning red dragon, or Y Ddraig Goch, is said to have been the battle standard for King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders. It represents the fierce spirit and valor of the Welsh people, a symbol of a nation that has fought for its identity for centuries. The most famous tale involves a young Merlin revealing a vision of a red dragon (the Britons) defeating a white dragon (the Saxon invaders), prophesying a victory for the Welsh people.
The backdrop of the flag is just as meaningful. The green and white fields were the colors of the House of Tudor, the Welsh dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603. Henry VII, the first Tudor king, flew a banner with the red dragon on green and white at the Battle of Bosworth Field, linking the dragon to a pivotal moment in Welsh and British history.
Officially adopted in 1959, the Welsh flag is a proud declaration of a unique cultural identity, language, and heritage that has endured through the ages. Flying this flag connects you to a deep well of history and legend—a story of magic, resistance, and indomitable pride. It’s a celebration of all things Cymru.
