Proportion | 2:3 |
Adopted | 1702 |
Design | A saltire of navy with a gold border, on a crimson field. |
The flag of Norden (Dalish: Nordens flag) is a saltire of navy with a golden border on a crimson field. The flag was adopted upon the foundation of the Nordic Kingdom in 1702, with the design allegedly created by King Kristian IV himself. The design sought to unite the national colours of the Kingdoms of Dalland and Vitmärige into one design to denote the unification of the two kingdoms into one realm. The design superimposes Saint Henrik's saltire, an unofficial symbol of the Kingdom of Vitmärige over the flag of Dalland which utilised a saltire of gold on red.
Prior to the unification of the two kingdoms, various designs incorporating the national symbols of both realms were used to denote the rule of two realms under one monarch, most notably the usage of the Dalish Griffin and Vitmar Lion. Prior to the creation of the current flag, the royal standard, was the most prominent symbol of the united kingdoms. However, as the realms remained administratively separate, the various flags of both Dalland and Vitmärige were retained for civil, state, and military usage within their respective realms.
