Why Does the Union Jack Look Like That?

Available for over a year

Alice Loxton and Ben Henderson delve into the history of the Union Jack - the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It’s one of the most recognisable British icons, but just why does it look the way it does? What’s the story behind the pattern? We’ll get into the saintly foundations, the Stuarts, and of course the age old question - where on the flag is Wales? Key Sources: The Union Jack: The Story of the British Flag - Professor Nick Groom
