Features
edit"Features"? That would apply to a flag that was quartered with it too, or one that bore marks of cadency etc. the description probably needs more. PML. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.202.5.75 (talk • contribs)
Flag of England <> St George's Cross
editSt George's Cross is a model of cross, and not a flag. The St George's Cross is present also in other flags. I think the two pages mustn't be merged.—the preceding comment is by 84.222.1.86 (talk • contribs) : Please sign your posts!.
Battle of Poitiers, 1356, who is using the red cross as field badge?
editIt's John II of France who is using the red cross..."https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapeau_de_la_France#/media/File:R%C3%A9dition_de_Jean_le_Bon.jpg"...unless the painter made a mistake, and John, with a sword, is in fact Edward.
The figures on the left look victorious. The figures on the right defeated. The left is woods, the right is plains. Given that England won at Poitiers by attacking through the woods, I wonder if a later artist added incorrect captions? Ariehkovler (talk) 16:23, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Ariehkovler there are multiple paintings of those battles and every time France used the 🏴. Until the English took Paris and red was seen as the color of the enemy, then started to use a white cross. Esteban Outeiral Dias (talk) 09:54, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Citations for St George and France
editI've seen the mark saying "citation needed". I'm also surprised by how there is barely any mention of it at all. One paragraph then that's it.
For the sources there is hundreds of them and with a detailed overview of the switch from France's 🏴 and England's 🇩🇰 to France's 🏴rotated and England's 🏴. There is sources but also paintings, on the wikipédia page for French flags in French: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapeau_de_la_France?wprov=sfla1
If no one wants to do the work I'll understand it'd take time, so maybe I'll eventually help later. Esteban Outeiral Dias (talk) 09:57, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Hawaii; East India Company
editI think you should the Flag of Hawaii under "Elswhere - Commonly". Also the Flag of the East India Company under "Historically". 68.100.121.207 (talk) 14:38, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
