Denmark Flag Meaning & History
Denmark’s flag, also known as the Dannebrog, is one of the oldest in the world and is currently the longest-running, continuously used national flag. According to legend, the Danes were on the brink of defeat during the Battle of Lyndanisse on June 15, 1219, when a lambskin banner fell from the sky bearing a white Nordic cross. The first rendering of the Danish flag is drawn in the Gelre Armorial, a book from the mid-14th century.
The Dannebrog was later considered for the role of the national flag in the 16th century and was used widely as a maritime flag for Danish boats. Interestingly, private use of the flag was outlawed in 1834 and only permitted for the military. However, the popularity of the flag amongst the Danish people led to the repeal of that law in 1854.
