Brecknockshire

The Brecknockshire flag is the proposed flag of the county of Brecknock. It has not yet been registered with the Flag Institute.

Design

Devised by Jason Saber and illustrated by Philip Tibbetts, the design combines charges from the county's armorial history which were used by the local council. These arms were designed in the middle ages but ascribed to a revered local hero named Brychan who first established the kingdom of Brycheiniog in the fifth century, the forerunner of the present day county of Brecknock. The arms designed for Brychan featured gold swords on a black background and blue bats on a gold background, as well as a cotised central gold bar i.e. a bar with two smaller bars above and below it, on a black field. The flag thus takes the principal symbols from the locally familiar arms and reworks them as a flag
