The History of the English Flag (2018x19)
Data emisji: Kwi 09, 2018
Most people know that the Union Flag (sometimes incorrectly called the Union Jack by normies) is made up of the various flags of the United Kingdom combining things like the Scottish Saltire and the English Saint George's Cross. But what is the history behind these symbols and why were they adopted by these nations, and what is more, why these flags, and what about the competitors who if history had been different might have come to symbolise these nations. In today's episode, I'm going to explore the history and symbolism behind England's flag, the Saint George's Cross, as well as the other banners that were once seen as being representative of the English people.
