![[Proposed Flag of Flintshire, Wales]](../images/g/gb-w-fli.gif)
image by Jason Saber, 25 February 2015See also:
The flag derives from the arms anachronistically attributed to the local Dark
Age ruler, Edwin of Tegeingl, a former kingdom that covered much of the
territory of Flintshire. The arms bore a black engrailed fleury cross, i.e. a cross
with scalloped edges, on a white field between four choughs, a bird once likely
to have been widespread in the vicinity, in black and red. These arms had been
used by the former Flintshire county Council. The flag, designed by Jason Saber
and refined by Philip Tibbetts, retains much of the basic symbolism and
essential charges of the original arms but depicts them in a form more suitable
for use as a flag. See also
