The flag of Denmark (Danish: Dannebrog, pronounced [ˈdanəˌbʁoˀ])
is red with a white Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges of the flag;
the vertical part of the cross is shifted to the hoist side.
A banner with a white-on-red cross is attested as having
been used by the kings of Denmark since the 14th century.An origin legend with
considerable impact on Danish national historiography connects the introduction
of the flag to the Battle of Lyndanisse of 1219.The elongated Nordic cross
reflects the use as maritime flag in the 18th century.The flag became popular
as national flag in the early 19th century. Its private use was outlawed in
1834, and again permitted in a regulation of 1854. The flag holds the world
record of being the oldest continuously used national flag.
