Flintshire

The Flintshire Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic Welsh county.

The design features four choughs in each quarter of a black engrailed flory cross on white.

This design is a banner of the arms posthumously assigned to Edwin ap Gronwy), the 11th-century lord or king of Tegeingl.

Tegeingl is a Welsh cantref and sometime kingdom which formed the core of the later county of Flintshire.

Over time the arms came to symbolise the county.

Flintshire County Council adopted them as a seal, before receiving them in amended form in their official grant of arms.

Flintshire societies have used them widely, and many local organisations and politicians supported the registration.
