3:32 According to 1 person, the red dragon's association with Cadwaladr started because an dude in England in 1718 wrote that Cadwaladr was the person who flew the flag without knowing that's not true. Or at least that's the furtherest he could trace it back as. The video is on TH-cam, and the video was started to correct a inaccurate statement on Wikipedia about the flag, and descented into a half-hour long video tracing back to the source of where Cadwaladr was first mentioned in the history of the red dragon. It's called "The Internet's Flag that Doesn't Exist [Parts 1&2]".
The story of the Welsh dragon actually dwells into a lot of folklore. Let the Welsh man explain. The Mabinogion is a Welsh folkbook filled with many popular folklore. The tale of two dragons is one of them. Basically the Welsh dragon (red) and the English dragon (white) kept on fighting and one day the welsh one won. It is Said that it is buried under the land of wales. Although I only heard it a few times I sometimes hear that the dragons spirit possesses someone who will save wales, such as Owain Glyndŵr.
Just watched your whole "Eurovision 2024 Retrospective" and I think, you've gained a new subscriber. I'm a dragon lover and I'll watch this video next! :D (Heck, I've even created my own flag of my imaginary country which has a dragon in the middle)
Imagine drawing a lizard on your flag to show how cool you think you are Edit: my apologies for the earlier remark. Putting a dragon on a flag is in fact tough as nails
Mentioning some Polish towns imagery of a dragon while the capital city of Slovenia is so proud of its dragon iconography they even have it on tourist promotional material while one of the main attractions of the city is the Dragon Bridge, pastry's named after dragons, flags with dragon on them everywhere and so on.
Fun Fact! The official animal of the Netherlands is a lion, because reasons and cool. However the Irish have a hare, because that hare only appears in Ireland, even though it is not nearly as cool as a lion, dragon or unicorn.
1:10 Garuda is actually the bird that Lord Vishnu of Hinduism rides on. Most people haven't seen it but it's probably exists... somewhere according to my beliefs. Hinduism and Hindu names came to Thailand and Indonesia long before the Muslims and Buddhists. So, many people use words like Raya (king) in their names. There are a minority of Thai Hindus in Thailand and most Balinese are also Hindus (although they are monotheistic for some reason). According to the Ramayana, Garuda's feathers are mythical. It can probably heal someone attacked by the Brahmastra. So, on the battlefield, Lakshmana (brother of Lord Rama) was unconscious but Garuda came and rubbed his feathers over Lakshmana, which caused him to regain his consciousness.
The Welsh flag has even more of a (most likely mythical) story around it. Pretty much, the story goes that a king was trying to build a castle on a hill, but every night, it would be knocked down and nobody knew why. So after the third (or something) time, the king ordered for a local child to be sacrificed to appease the Gods / God, as people came to the conclusion that they were punishing the king. However, the child had plot armour and somehow correctly identified that two dragons, one white and one red, were fighting underneath the castle, and so they dug a hole in the hill and low and behold the two dragons came out and began to fight. The red one won and the flag was created, the red dragon representing the victorious dragon, the white representing the dead white dragon and the green representing the hill. Also the child was Merlin. Don’t ask.
Hi Extra in Exile! I love your videos and i wondered if you wanna be part of a show i'm making! It's a show where CB TH-camrs compete for a prize! And i thought as you are a very good TH-camr, if you wanted to be part of it
Also, the flag of Wales has nothing to do with Sarmation knights! It was used by the Romano-Brythonic Royals of what is now Wales. This line ended in 1415!.
As an American, I vote we kick Bison and the Bald Eagle out of the spot for national animal, what to replace it with? Well, because we Americans have massive egos and can never let go of the past, Tyrannosaurus Rex :)

Not gonna lie, your design for a new maltese flag looks pretty sick.
your custom malta flag with the dragon across the whole flag might become my favorite national flag around the world if it became official
Your editing and comedic timing is superb

what do you have with obama?
Ah, Y ddraig coch, the flag with about twenty differ origin stories
The Mab Darogan. This came to pass as The Tudors conquered England! The Uk was created out of successful resistances of Wales and Scotland.
There is only one origin story actually. It gets confusing because it gets told by people who know Sweet FA about the country.

Finally a new video from extra!
Cambrian Chronicles does a great deep dive on the welsh dragon
No he doesn’t! That man is paid by the Anglo state to demean and muddy everything about Wales.
woahh,, shiny new outro card, and an amazing video as always, Extra!!

great video as always 🥶👌
1:54 I live next to Strzyżów powiat (Krosno) xD
So, it's cout?
the new outro looks great! i love it!

"Oh wow, a dragon. This has severe lore implications..." Tears of the Kingdom moment
The old coat of arms of the Porto city used to have a dragon wich btw is still present on FC Porto logo

All of the world, except 22 countries, were invaded by the British at some point.
I gotta say, he pronounced those Welsh names pretty well (for someone who isn't Welsh) - I have some family members with worse pronounciation
I can never guess what these videos will be about 💀

I feel like people would complain to flags with dragons just because they think imagination is dorks, but it’s not!
Hi
Dragons are just cool
Great video, hope to see more in the future ^_^
Nice video!!
By the way, when Eurovision 2024 is finished, will you make a video on it?
Damn the chapiter is named meow i did not expect that :skull:
Why do I feel slight pain.
Nice outro music, what is it?
Please tell me you're going back to this style of videos Extra. Please.
could you do a animation tutorial? or tell me what you use please...

Thanks, subscribed. Also, it's "Strzyżów", not "Stryzzow"
you pronounced cadwaladr correctly, congrats!
8:27 now I wish I had watched this video a few months ago, just to make a Geometry Dash reference.

Unrelated but if you’re going to video on national animals will you do a video on other national symbols.
Every note of the brazilian currency has a diferent animal depending on the value.

Dragons are sick >:)
Lol that ending tho
I think - the truth of the matter is people hate on Wales because they are Jealous!!! Jelly of the Flag, the anthem, Their Kings like Arthur!
There are not enough state flags with dragons on them
