The city of Rajec (Žilina okres, Žilina region, Slovakia) apparently
has a new flag, see this
webpage; description here.
The simple flag (vlajka) is a swallowtailed BWBW flag - very
unassuming compared with the long flag (zastava), a vertical banner
with St. Ladislaus in chief over the city colors. Ladislaus (Hungarian:
Laszlo) lived 1040-1095, born in Neustra, died in Nitra (I assume they're
the same place, presently in Slovakia), elected king of Hungary in 1077.
As usual with saints depicted this way he was a real fire-eater, venerated
for his zeal, piety and moral life, canonized in 1192 by Pope Celestine
III. Saint's day: June 27.

Rajec is 21 km south of Žilina in northwest Slovakia. It is an ancient
little town with much handicraft production.
