"The Welsh Dragon – Welsh: Y Ddraig Goch ("the red dragon") pronounced [? 'ðraig 'go??] – appears on the national flag of Wales. The flag is also called Y Ddraig Goch. The oldest recorded use of the dragon to symbolise Wales is in the Historia Brittonum, written around AD 829, but it is popularly supposed to have been the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders."
