Y Ddraig Goch, the red dragon, strides across a green-and-white field with roots in Arthurian legend and Tudor heraldry going back over a thousand years, older than most of the flags around it. It never made it onto the Union Jack, since Wales was already folded into the Kingdom of England when that flag was drawn up in 1606, so this one flies solo.
