The Montgomeryshire flag is the proposed flag of the county of Montgomery. It has not yet been registered with the Flag Institute.[1]
Design
A banner of the arms of a locally-celebrated seventh-century hero named Brochwel Ysgithrog, famed for his resistance to the invading Saxons. In the mediæval period a coat of arms was created for him bearing three white horse heads on a black field. The arms borne by the local council in the twentieth century included a black and white border as a reference to Brochwel's arms. The proposed flag illustrated by Philip Tibbetts is therefore a natural and obvious flag for the county to fly.
