A banner with a white-on-red cross is attested as having been used by the kings of Denmark since the 14th century.[6] An origin legend with considerable impact on Danish national historiography connects the introduction of the flag to the Battle of Lindanise of 1219.[7]


The elongated Nordic cross, which represents Christianity, reflects its use as a maritime flag in the 18th century.[b] The flag became popular as a national flag in the early 16th century. Its private use was outlawed in 1834 but again permitted by a regulation of 1854. The flag holds the Guinness world record of being the oldest continuously used national flag, that is since 1625.[3]
