Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
Actually, I made the shield like that because the original request was for and Anglish/Danish huscarl. The shield pattern was chosed because it is similar to the flags of England and Denmark . . . I think.

A lot of european flags has a cross in it, they all look almost the same. Though the Norwegian one is the most beautiful... But it has no name? Like Union Jack etc.

I think the pattern is only similar to english and danish flags. But it actually is finnish flag (at least with the blue default civ-specific colour )
Afaik its just a name, but it might have meant something in the old days.Originally posted by Risbinroch
Danebrog (isn't it called that?) What does that exactly mean?

BTW, nice-to-know background info:
- The danish flag (white cross on red background) is the oldest flag still in use. I think it dates from 1300th century (or close to that period)

The 1300th century? That's still some time off ...
It's probably from the 13th century, and often connected to the reign of King Valdemar Sejr and his crusades against the Estonians.
However, it appears it's only attested with certainty from the late 14th century, which it means that it's possibly younger than the (pretty similar) English flag, as well as the Austrian one.
