А вот N. Lukman приводит 17 упоминаний об этом флаге.
1043 St. Omer. Encomium Emmae Reginae: "...a banner which gave a wonderful omen. I am well aware that this may seem incredible to the reader, but nevertheless I insert it in my veracious work because it is true:
This banner was woven of the cleanest and whitest silk and no picture of any figures was found on it. In case of war, however, a raven was always to be seen, as if it was woven into it. If the Danes were going to win the battle,
the raven appeared, beak wide open, flapping its wings and restless on its feet. If they were going to be defeated, the raven did not stir at all, and its limbs hung motionless."
Пока разбираюсь с источниками статьи, но из 17 упоминаний, Mahmut, что изображено на флаге летописно процитирую. С краями флага возражений нет?
