Denmark Flag Adopted 12th century On the evening before the Battle of Lyndanisse, the Danish King Valdemar II claimed to have a vision of a white crucifix in a darkening sky. This he interpreted as Gods wish that he triumph in battle the next day in what turned out to be a very bloody victory. Originally the cross was square on the flag but over the centuries one of the horizontals of the cross has been lengthened. The cross on the flag represents the cross visualized by the Danish King and its meaning of future victory. The red symbolizes either the darkening sky or the bloody battle of the next day. This basic design also extends to other Scandinavian flags (Norway, Finland, Iceland and Sweden). |
