The reply was that the Cross of St George was adopted as a national symbol by the Tudors, a Welsh family, and hence it is the flag of Wales rather than England. It's a lot easier to draw than the above beastie, but not nearly so good looking. Anyhow the Union flag still has the cross of Saint Patrick though the union with Ireland was dissolved in 1921, but not the red hand of Ulster. So we need a dragon, a red hand, and two crosses. Or home rule for everyone. - Richard Kirk Newsgroups: soc.culture.welsh From: ly...@stuffing.demon.co.uk (Lyn David Thomas) Subject: Re: Welsh Flag References: <3nh097$dv...@southern.co.nz> Date: Tue, 25 Apr 1995 00:37:55 +0000 I think that the more honest answer was that the union flag was made by combining the flags of Scotland and England at the time of the union of 1707. Wales was not represented as it officialy did not exist. We were conquered remember! The "Act of Union" incorporated Wales into England, and although Wales retained some separate administative stuctures and its own system of law courts it was regarded as a province of England. When Ireland was added to the union the cross of St Patrick was added. Perhaps if they are serious about the UK being a union of equal consenting nations they should look again at the flag? -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- | /\/\ White | | O---O \ ____ __ | | >__ |____ | // __|//\\__\ | | \ \ / | | // \\//--/ | |----\ \____| \/ /____//-------| |. . .-----\ Red Dragon / . . .| |. . . . . / /________/ /\ . . . | |. . . . / / . . . / /\ \ . . .| | . . .>_/__/ . . .>_/__/ >\_\Green| |__________________________________| CYMRU - WALES -Ian Geraint Jones- Welsh Flag + ---------------------------------+ | M. | | O---O \ ___ __ | | >__ > __. | /) )) //\\__\ | | \ \ ^ | | /) )) \\//--/ | |----\ \____/ Y) ))____) )------| |. . .----\ /. . . .| |. . . . . / )________) /\ . . . | |. . . . / /. . . . / /\ \ . . .| | . . . >__/. . . . >__/ >__\ . .| |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | +----------------------------------+ -Andrew Thomas- ___ (_ _) | |____....----....____ _ | |\ . .~~~~---~~ | | | | __\\ /(/( . | | | | <--= '|/_/_( /| | | | | }\~) | / _(./ ..| | | |.:::::::\\/ --...::::::| | | |:::::::::\//::\\__\:::::::::| | | |::::::::_//_:_//__\\_:::::::| | | |::::::::::::::::::::::::::::| | |/:::''''~~~~'''':::::::::::::'~ | | DrS ~~~~~ -Al Tinsley- ====================================================================
