| The flag of Denmark is known as “Dannebrog,” meaning “the cloth of the
Danes” or “the Danish cloth.” The flag shows a white cross which extends to
the edges of the flag, on a red background. Legend tells us that the cross
on the red ground came down from heaven as a sign to King Valdemar II before
the Battle of Lyndanise against the Estonians in 1219. |
