WELSH DRAGON

Welsh Dragon on Black wrought iron gate whilst walking in Harlech.

 

The dragon appeared on the battle flags of various British soldiers

on their way to Rome in the 4th Century.

It was later adopted by the 5th Century Welsh King's who were keen to show their authority

following the Roman withdrawal.

The legend, the two sleeping dragons one white - one red woke up and began fighting!!!

Red - Welsh.

White - English.

Idris is the name of the

male Red dragon.
