Welsh Tricolour

located by Dafydd Young

This webpage records "the Welsh Tricolour ("Cymru Rhydd") Diolch yn Fawr to Rhys Gethin II. The Black Star represents unity and remembrance for all who have died fighting for Cymru (Wales). I have often seen the tricolour, but never as an actual flying flag, only as pictures.

White Eagle of Wales flag

located by Dafydd Young

This rune-like white-on-black flag apparently is described as the "white eagle of Wales". It is also referred to as Eryr Gwyn. I have never seen this symbol in use, not even alongside the Nationalist slogans that grace walls in Wales. Maybe it had something to do with the Free Wales Army? It appears on the image at this site as well as on the uniform of the 'soldier'.

The white runic symbol on the black background, is indeed a representation of the Snowdonian Eagle, and was I believe worn on the uniforms of volunteers in the Free Wales Army.

Other separatist flags

located by Dafydd Young

Other flags of unknown significance (and poorer quality) are shown on this website. These include a quartered red on gold/gold on red rampant lion (Owen Glyndwr's flag?) and a red dragon on black with illegible text below it.

The Lion on Gold and Red, is the Banner of Owain Glyndwr, as born on his shield.
