What is normady flag?

Normandy flag, also known as the flag of Normandy, is a horizontal bicolor flag with two equal stripes of white and red. It is the official flag of the French region of Normandy and is also used by people of Norman descent around the world.

The white color in the flag represents purity, clarity, and the Virgin Mary, who is the patron saint of Normandy. The red color represents courage, bravery, and blood, with reference to the Norman warrior ethos.

The Normandy flag also features a stylized golden leopard in the center, which is derived from the arms of William the Conqueror, who was a Norman duke and King of England in the 11th century.

The current design of the Normandy flag was adopted in 1956, but the origins of the flag date back to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Since then, the flag has evolved over time, with various designs and symbols being used to represent the region.

Today, the Normandy flag is a popular symbol of pride and identity among the Norman people, and it is often flown on public buildings, at festivals and other cultural events in Normandy and abroad.
