Who cares what the 'correct' Welsh flag is? Custom has rendered the familiar one legitimate. It is distinctive - you cannot mistake it for any other flag. Not like those tricolor flags that all look the same. I make this point in my book Dewi the Dragon published by Y Lolfa.

Henry VII became king because of a claim through his English ancestors. He did not fight against the English. but merely had an army with a large number of Welsh soldiers. In the Wars of the Roses the Welsh fought on both sides. If Owain Glyndwr had won, his kingdom would have included a large slice of England with English inhabitants. He married his daughters into the English aristocracy and gentry. He had English ambitions. When he lost he hid and died in England.

The main acheivement of the Welsh soldiers after Bosworth was to slaughter the Celtic-speaking Cornish rebels who had marched towards London. The Welsh are England's original Gurkhas.
