Dragons in old English stories too so it's not even specifically a Welsh thing. Just another reason to have one on the UK flag.

    I'd have to dig into the archives but all of Britain was once the Welsh, till the 'English' invaders pushed them into the pocket of land they are in now. I wonder if the Union Jack specifically left off the dragon, as to not recognize the welsh folk lore, or claim of an independent group like the rest of flags on it

    Which invasion? There were a few... To say it was all Welsh seems a bit odd. Everywhere has been invaded at least a few times. I think some are more a change of ruling class and others have more immigration of normal people.

    I think the most well known ones here would be Roman, Anglo Saxon, Viking and Norman.
