History of the Danish Flag

The Danish flag is the oldest of all the flags in use today, having been in use since 1219. It is rectangular in shape, with a length-to-width ratio of 37 to 28, and has a white cross on the red side, slightly to the left. According to the Danish epic, King Valdemaviktoris of Denmark, also known as the Victory King, led an army against the Estonian pagans in 1219 AD.

During the battle of Londanis on June 15, the Danish army was in trouble. Suddenly a red flag with a white cross fell from the sky and was accompanied by a loud voice seizing that this flag was victory. Inspired by this flag, the Dan army fought bravely and turned defeat into victory.

Since then the red flag with the white cross has become the national flag of the Kingdom of Denmark. To this day, every year on June 15, Denmark will celebrate the national flag day that is Valdemar Day. The Danish flag is also known as the Daniblo, which means the Danish flag or the red flag.
