This is the spot where, according to legend, on the 15th day of June in the year 1219, a red flag with a white cross descended from the sky during the battle and turned the course of the battle in favour of King Valdemar II. Later, the flag became the national flag of Denmark, the Dannebrog.
Skwisgaar doesn’t like Caj’s guitar, Dannebrog. He might like it more than he likes her, though.
Brought about when I was failing at drawing that scowling face on him for a @dethkomic panel, and a practice sketch turned into a whole scene when I remembered @vanjestic commenting on how funny Skwis’ disdain for ‘the Dutch” in general is.
And it is. :)
the flag of Denmark is considered to be the oldest existing flag in the world. It is known as Dannebrog and traces its history back to 1219.
from /r/vexillology Top comment: Oldest, *still used*, flag. There are older known flags.
Happy 80th birthday Queen Margrethe II of Denmark - 16th April 1940
