A UK V-Reader explains the oldest English symbol
Dear V-News,
The picture of a Welsh dragon in a recent piece on EU interference prompts me to bring to your attention, and to that of interested kinsmen and kinswomen in America and elsewhere of course, who may know nothing of it, the interest currently being shown by the English in reclaiming their past. One obvious area of investigation is that symbol of nationhood, the flag, and where there has been a rich harvest indeed.
Many will recognize the British flag (Union Jack) and perhaps even the "English" Cross of St. George at its heart (the large red cross in the middle). Yet how many are aware that this was but an early mediaeval imposition, decided upon after the Crusades by our Norman rulers, that it is not the flag of the English at all, and that the only legitimate rallying point for centuries prior to the usurpation of William the Bastard was actually the White Dragon? Today the embattled English are only now finding out about the past they had taken from them.
"About 450 AD came the landing in Britain of two warrior traders, Hengest and Horsa who, together with their Saxon, Angle and Jutish followers are traditionally regarded as the founders of England. History records that the White Dragon was their emblem. During the next four centuries, the Saxon, Angle and Jutish settlers; originally from North Germany, Denmark, Jutland and Norway, who, together with the Northmen or Vikings, would become known collectively as the English, advanced from East to West through the new land.
"Various accounts of the times record many battles between armies carrying the British Red Dragon Banner (now the Welsh Dragon) and the White Dragon Flag of the Saxons, Angles and Jutes (the English Dragon). The White Dragon was, and still is, the emblem of Wessex, the territory of the West Saxons and the English King, Alfred the Great.
"The White Dragon Flag was carried by King Harold's warriors at the Battle of Hastings and is shown on the Tapestry sewn by Englishwomen to commemorate the battle. The White Dragon flag of the English is seen displayed on that same Tapestry featuring a scene at Westminster Abbey during a ceremony for the Usurper, William of Normandy.
"In a world with few certainties, the White Dragon Flag of the English people underlines our kinship with the past. It tells us from where we came and who we are. It imparts a sense of permanence and continuity. It is defining. Unlike St. George's Cross, The White Dragon has no dubious religious connections or background unrelated to fact.
"The successful re-emergence of the White Dragon Flag of the Saxons, Angles and Jutes (English) is due to the thorough and detailed research conducted by The English Flag Society. This flag had been almost extinct for about nine hundred years. Investigation by John Green, Secretary of The English Flag Society, of the Early English period between the third and eleventh centuries A.D disclosed many references not only to the White Dragon Emblem, but also others, such as the Boar, Raven, Wolf etc.
"Careful and scrupulous investigation, coupled with analysis of numerous references, showed clearly that the White Dragon, in terms of its representation of Englishness, was clearly the most popular. All the ethnic English who support the White Dragon Flag have declared themselves for their Anglo Saxon Jutish origins and drawn an invisible but unbreakable thread to the beginning of the English Nation in Britain.
"Let the ethnic English, without triumphalism or overbearing pride, remind themselves that this modern world imperfect as it is, was made primarily by the Anglo Saxons. Almost all the benefits of modern life, including law, education, transport, medicine, entertainment and communications were derived in part or in whole from the exertions of the English. Indeed, the first man on the moon was an American of Anglo-Saxon descent!"
