	Saint David Summary
		Saint David died in his monastery at Mynyw, some say at the age of 142 or 147 (he is credited with predicting the day), and an observer watched angels carry Saint David's soul up to heaven.
		The saint was conceived through violence and his poor mother, Non (possibly just 'a nun') the daughter of Lord Cynyr of Caer Goch (in Pembrokeshire), gave birth to him on a cliff top in the middle of a violent storm.
		Saint David of Muscovy or Gleb, brother of saint Roman of Muscovy or Boris, and son of saint Vladimir

	darachweb: St David - Patron Saint of Wales
		Saint David (or Dewi Sant, as he is known in the Welsh language) was a Celtic monk, abbot and bishop, who lived in the sixth century.
		David was born near Capel Non (Non's chapel) on the South-West Wales coast near the present city of Saint David.
		David himself spoke an old form of Welsh fourteen centuries ago, and the Saint has become synonymous with keeping the language alive, and all that is good in the Welsh way of life.

		However, the arms of the bishopric of St David's are a gold cross on fl, like the flag mentioned, but with four outline fl cinquefoils in the arms of the cross.
		David was canonised in 1120; his saint's day is 1 March, the Welsh national holiday.
		There is therefore a space for a flag to commemorate St David, patron of the land, but does not reflect true Welshness as does the Ddraig Goch, and which would also be useful for Anglicans in that it consists of a Welsh version of the Cross of St George.

	Flags Over Mississippi
		The committee’s recommendation for an official flag was: “A Flag of white ground, a Magnolia tree in the centre, a blue field in the upper left hand corner with a white star in the centre, the Flag to be finished with a red border and a red fringe at the extremity of the Flag.”
		Whether it was the flag by law or custom, the Mississippi state flag with its prominent display of the Beauregard battle flag eventually became a symbol that stirred the deep passions and the power of memory.
		As the battle flag was becoming increasingly associated with the advocates of white supremacy, historical organizations and southern heritage groups were unable to separate or distinguish the historical character of the battle flag or protect or insulate it from the political agenda of its modern bearers.

	Saint David's Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	United Kingdom: jacks
		The wording of the Proclamation of 1606 (which established the Union Flag) strongly suggests, however, that the Cross of St George was customarily worn at the main masthead prior to that date (at least by merchant vessels), whilst its new position was laid down as being the fore topmast.
		The new flag was warranted on 8 July 1823, the details published in the London Gazette on the 9th, to be effective 1 January 1824.

		It must be stressed however that this flag is the 'official' flag of Wales, and represented on the Union Flag as the mis-aligned red diagonal cross along with the cross of Saint Patrick.
		The history of the flag is somewhat ambiguous, though it seems to have emerged, or re-emerged at the beginning of the 20th century.
		This is another variant of the original flag of Saint David, which was a red diagonal cross on a fl background (still- although not widely known- represented on the Union Flag (the flag of the United Kingdom)).

		Saint Yves: (in Brittany) is a fl cross on gold, with four scraggly birds in each quarter.
		Many flags were used but most frequent and distinct were the ones with this cross, sometimes with a sun in the dexter canton and a moon in the sinister.
		It has also been my distinct impression that fixed proportions for flags are a relatively recent (18th-19th century) development, so citing proportions of 3:2 (or any other ratio) for the flag of an organization that was abolished in the 14th century seems a little risky.

		Wales had no explicit recognition in the flag because Wales had been annexed by Edward I of England in 1282, and since the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542 was considered to be a part of the Kingdom of England.
		There have since been proposals to include the Dragon or the flag of Saint David (itself a cross) on the Union Jack but these have never caught on.
		I suppose we should be grateful for the small mercies of the St. George cross being used constantly in place of the Union Jack.
