The presentation of the history of the Scanian flag was initially in Swedish language but information is currently available in English too.

The availability of this information has provided a new dimension in the comprehension of the history of Scania especially with consideration of the influence from the Danish and the Swedish dynasties that were attempting to control Scania.

The origin of the flag emerged from the archbishop of Lund who used the red colour and the yellow cross when performing his duties. Scania had difficulties to acquire the status of the official flag because this would mean it would become a free province.
