Technically, England was part of France and not the other way round. The Edward the Confessor was a Duke and was supposed to pay taxes and head the summons of the king of France even when Edward became king. In reality, France was so decentralised and the idea of nations was non-existent at the time. This meant you could have a duchy in another persons land and be beholden to them whilst having land in another "kingdom" or even ruling it.

Do you think you could do more flag videos? Especially around the British isles and other areas influenced by them? Northern Europe would also be interesting. I’m kinda into flats, and have been watching your stuff for a while so I think that would be cool.

S.George cross was first made by a bishop in Geona. It was a frankish guy to use it as has symbol During the First Crusade for Jerusalem in honour of Geona, that is how crusaders got their appellation (Cross --> Crusade).

I'm pretty sure the White Dragon flag has only been around since the 80's , based on the Arthurian myth where the White dragon (Saxons) fought the Red dragon (Britons), there is also the theory that it could be based on Harold Godwinson's battle standard as seen in the Bayeux Tapestry but there is no recorded history of it being white (more likely gold)

Technically the English are still Anglo Saxons, and the Scottish are still celts, most English have Norman, Scottish, Irish, Viking, And Saxon ancestry.

Yes the Saxon culture has been the most dominated in England, but if we look back, when Anglo-Saxons came to Britain there were about 300,000 of them, but there were two millions Celts in the south of Britain, then they have mixed with each other and got English, that is English are Celts and Anglo-Saxons together

"Serpentine-like creature" "Oi, I remember George. He was always a tosser. Going on about how he 'slayed a dragon' - we all knew that he'd really only stepped on a garden snake, and that was by accident!"

This is the ancient flag of genova..

The symbolism of the Salvific banner of the true cross, as Jacopo da Varagine Archbishop of Genoa indicated the cross of San Giorgio, determined in the Middle Ages, for armed pilgrimages, the appellation of crusaders. The Cross of San Giorgio was therefore chosen as a symbol of the pilgrims who went to the holy places of Christianity and who after 1095, the year of conquest of Jerusalem by the Seljuk Turks, moved largely by a sincere spirit of mission, decided to take the cross and arm yourself to free the land where Jesus Christ was born and lived, in response to the repeated attacks suffered by the Turks, determined, once the Arabs were overwhelmed, to push for the conquest of the Byzantine empire. In 1099 she was adopted by Goffredo di Buglione following the capture of Jerusalem in honor of the Genoese forces ("Praepotens Genuensium Praesidium") following Guglielmo Embriaco who, after a long siege, resolved the fate of the battle with a decisive contribution in the conquest of the City Santa. During the Middle Ages it also became a symbol of the Lombard League, which used it as a banner, probably inspired by the banner of the municipality of Milan. The use of the banner by the Genoese, however, seems to date back to remote times, when the Byzantine army was stationed in the city, and the banner of the garrison (a red cross on a white field) was brought as a tribute to the small church of San Giorgio , but it is certainly attested in 1096. The flag, historically used by the Republic of Genoa, had an automatic defense value: the enemy ships if they saw it avoided the conflict. So in 1190 [1] the rulers of London obtained the use of the flag for the British fleet, but in exchange for an annual tribute to be paid to the Republic of Genoa [2]. In July 2018 the mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci asked the English Queen for 247 years of arrears as the concession of the banner was no longer paid since 1771 ( wikipedia the free)

Hey Hilbert, the Lion/Leopard thing references their stance. Leopards have that horizontal pose as in the English coat of arms, whereas the standing pose such as in Scotland (or *cough* Holland, Flanders, Brabant etc...) is what's known in heraldry as a Lion

The Three Lions (or Leopards) was from the Plantagenets (Angevin) not the Normans/Normandy...?

The Danish coat of arms has 3 lions that look really similiar to that of the English medieval flag, do you know if that has something to do with it?

The term "Union of the Crowns" usually does refer to 1603. They were still separate crowns but united under a single person, hence the name "Union of the Crowns". That's distinct from the Acts of Union in 1707.

Kudos for using "William the Bastard" who was succeeded of course by William the Pin-Cushion ;)

Very nice! Thank you. But... if I might make a suggestion? Scattering in a few more dates would be helpful. I have a horrible feeling that terms like 'The Middle Ages', 'The Crusades', 'The Reformation', 'The Renaissance' and 'Hammer Time' may not register with some people (mentioning no names, Mr Trump, whoops, sorry). I mean, 300 years may seem an inconceivably long time for some folks, but it barely scratches the surface here. Cambridge has had a University for over 800 years; Ripon Cathedral goes back more than 1,300 years, and I myself - Queen Boudicca's baby sister - am nearly 2,000 years old. Well, you know. I just thought a few more 'markers' might help put the wavy flappy thing on a stick thing in perspective... :-)

The flag of England is also included in the Albertan shield of Alberta, Canada, over a blue background. Which is Unique for Alberta, as majority of backgrounds on Canadian flags is red. Also to note, Alberta is the name of I believe it was the fourth child of Queen Victoria.

i think it would be cool to add the Anglo Saxon white dragon symbol over the current st George's cross and just add a red line around the dragon to make it visible

As I understood it, and I say this as someone who hasn't done much research and who lives in a not too patriotic area: Saint Edmund of East Anglia's attributed banner was in fact three golden crowns on a blue field. Similar to the Swedish arms, but with all three in a vertical arrangement akin to the Hull Rugby team badges. I knew of the white dragon banner, but from my understanding it was a much later invention (to be fair, basically all pre-Norman banners and arms are), and the pre-1066 English instead likely used the Golden Wyvern of Wessex.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the white dragon flag wouldn’t just be a recoloured Welsh flag. I’ve always seen it depicted as a more vertical, often leg less, dragon

Just don’t expect too much nice people. Let’s just say British people these days aren’t as “polite” as you think they are…

I think this flag design definitely comes from the crusades. Knights templar also had a red cross with white background. The Plantagenet family were the rulers of England at this time and they were also French and ruled about 50% of France all the way down to the Spanish Border. Richard the Lion-heart who was a Plantagenet King of England personally traveled to the Holy Lands to fight in the Crusades.

Hilbert, I think the topic is interesting, being born and living in England. I suppose it's your overseas viewers who aren't interested in the history behind the St George cross.

It’s my understanding that in heraldry, when a lion faces you, it is called a leopard.

2:00 In heraldry lions and leopards are the same animal but leopards have their head turned so that the whole face is visible.

Then there was the Ensign of the Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading with the East Indies which consisted of St. George's flag along the upper hoist of the Red Duster, with six white stripes.

Heraldry books explain everything concerning this subject matter!

The map at the start was England and Wales not England. Btw I really like what ur doing

St George was from Turkey and he is also the saint of the country Georgia. As for the English flag it has suppose have come from Denmark`s flag (which Denmark had rule England for a time) with the colours just turned around.

It hasn't been a British possession, but the United Kingdom was the first country to recognize the Kingdom of Hawaii as a legitimate government after it was discovered by James Cook. Generally speaking, the Hawaiian people (especially the "native people") look favorably to Britain, which is why it is on the flag. And then Americans discovered Hawaii. It isn't a pretty history, although Hawaiian statehood did much to repair the damage and has permitted the Hawaiian people to chart their own destiny.

Constantine - the Westminster parliament passes very few laws which are pan-UK. Thanks to devolution, laws on domestic matters (education, health, public transport, policing, etc) are made by the devolved legislatures in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Therefore, Westminster is more or less a de facto English parliament (with MPs elected outside England undemocratically voting on English business) as well as the UK one, although you'll probably never hear anyone in Westminster or Whitehall saying as much. In fact, you'll probably never even hear any of them admit that there's such a country as England.

Just a minor mistake. The Union Jack wasn't created on the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, but around 1707 with the act of Union. The last Stuart monarch, Queen Anne, had no heirs and with her death the union with Scotland would end. To keep that from happening they got the Scottish Parliament to agree to a merger into the UK. Also you didn't say much about why they added the extra diagonal red cross. That happened around 1800 when they also merged Ireland into the UK.

Will they use the dragon again?

Your pronunciation was almost perfect. But it's fleur de lyS. The S isn't silent.

The Fleur-de-Lys were not added to the Royal Standard until the English claimed France under King Edward III. It had nothing to do with the French character of the Norman Monarchy.

Why didn't we get the white dragon dammit.

Could you do a special about the Dutch anthem? Perhaps about the fact that it's just about a guy who starts by saying he's German, then goes on to mention the Spanish occupation. Also, no mention of the Netherlands of even Holland, just Orange (which is... in France) and ends by declaring his allegiance to the king of Spain??? WTF? Just admit it, Marseillaise is better.
