Danish Flag History

By Sam Living


From 10,000 to 1500 B.C., the population of present-day Denmark evolved from a society of hunters and fishers into one of the farmers. Called Jutland by the end of the 8th century, its mariners were among the Vikings, or Norsemen, who raided western Europe and the British Isles from the 9th to 11th century.

Beginning in 1944, Denmark's relationship with its territories changed substantially. In that year, Iceland declared its independence from Denmark, ending a union that had existed since 1380. In 1948, the Faroe Islands, which had also belonged to Denmark since 1380, were granted home rule, and in 1953, Greenland officially became a territory of Denmark.

The Danish banner was embraced 25 March 1757. The cross reflects Christianity. The Knights of Malta have the same banner. White stands for peace while red is typical of valor, and quality.

According to the United Nations, the flag of Denmark is the oldest flag still in use. Danneborg (Danish cloth) dates from 1219. King Woldemar was leading his troops in battle against the Estonians but things were not going well for the Danes.

Another hypothesis of this banner is that the banner was sent to the ruler from the Pope. In any case, another hypothesis says that it wasn't sent to the lord yet was an ecclesiastical pennant sent to the archbishop and that he then brought it along on the King's campaign in the Baltic nations trying to get the armed force to use a Christian image in a fight.

This adaptation doesn't appear to be likely since the archbishop wouldn't do this without the lord's authorization. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development of Danish History by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
