Y Ddraig Aur, a flag which was carried by Owain Glyndwr who most notably displayed it at Twt Hill after his successes in reclaiming Welsh territory. The wyvern is based on his privy seal.[1]
Wessex is often, in modern times, symbolised by a wyvern or dragon. While there is little to no evidence that it explicitly identified Wessex at the time of the kingdom, the association was popularised in the 19th century.[2] The above flag was created by William Crampton, an advocate for English regional flags, in 1974.[3]

The wyvern (/ˈwaɪvərn/ WY-vərn, sometimes spelled wivern) is a type of mythical dragon with two legs, two wings, and often a pointed tail which is said to be a venomous stinger.[4]

The wyvern in its various forms is important in heraldry, frequently appearing as a mascot of schools and athletic teams (chiefly in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada). It is a popular creature in European literature, mythology, and folklore. Today, it is often used in fantasy literature and video games. The wyvern in heraldry and folklore is rarely fire-breathing, unlike other dragons.
