As an emblem, the [[Welsh Dragon|red dragon]] ({{lang-cy|Y Ddraig Goch<!--NOTE: Standard Wiki style is that non-English alternative names for articles are in italics rather than bold. This doesn't change for country names — see the articles on Germany or Italy for example.-->}}) of Wales has been used since the reign of [[Cadwaladr]], [[List of rulers of Wales|King of Gwynedd]] from around 655 AD and is present on the national [[flag of Wales]], which became an official flag in 1959.<ref name=":0" />
The [[Flag of Wales]] incorporates the [[Welsh dragon|red dragon]] (''{{lang|cy|Y Ddraig Goch}}'') of Prince [[Cadwalader]] along with the [[Tudor dynasty|Tudor]] colours of green and white. It was used by [[Henry VII of England|Henry VII]] at the [[battle of Bosworth]] in 1485 after which it was carried in state to [[St. Paul's Cathedral]]. The red dragon was then included in the Tudor royal arms to signify their Welsh descent. It was officially recognised as the Welsh national flag in 1959. The British [[Union Flag]] incorporates the flags of Scotland, Ireland and England but does not have any Welsh representation. Technically, however, it is represented by the flag of England due to the Laws in Wales act of 1535 which annexed Wales following the 13th century conquest.

From the 11th century onwards, the Aberffraw family claimed primacy as princes of Wales as the [[Primogeniture|senior descendants]] of [[Rhodri the Great]], and included [[Owain Gwynedd]], who was known as ''[[Prince of Wales|princeps Wallensium]]'' (Prince of the Welsh), and [[Llywelyn ap Gruffudd]].

The standard is similar to the arms of [[Llywelyn ap Gruffudd]] (Llywelyn the Last), the last Prince of Wales before the conquest of Wales by [[Edward I of England]]. The design may also be influenced by the arms of Glyndwr's parents, both of whom had lions in their arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC Wales - History - Themes - Welsh flag: Banner of Owain Glyndwr |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/sites/themes/society/flag_owainglyndwr.shtml |access-date=2022-07-29 |website=www.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> There's no evidence to suggest this was ever used as a flag, but they are used in today on public buildings.
| The flag of [[Owain Glyndŵr]], [[Prince of Wales]], which combined the flags of [[Kingdom of Powys|Powys]] and [[Deheubarth]], blazoned ''Quarterly or and gules, four [[Lion (heraldry)|lions rampant]] two and two counterchanged''. The red lion on a yellow field represented Powys, and the yellow lion on a red field represented Deheubarth. Owain was the [[Primogeniture|senior heir]] of both Powys and Deheubarth. The flag harkened back to the Aberffraw flag, linking Owain's rule with the Aberffraw princes of Wales in an effort to legitimize his rule. It is currently in use by the [[National Eisteddfod of Wales]], [[Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg]] and widely amongst pro-independence groups.

| The [[Welsh Dragon|Red Dragon]] ({{lang-cy|Y Ddraig Goch<!--NOTE: Standard Wiki style is that non-English alternative names for articles are in italics rather than bold. This doesn't change for country names — see the articles on Germany or Italy for example.-->}}) of Wales is a symbol of Wales that appears in "[[Lludd and Llefelys|Cyfranc Lludd a Lleuelys]]", ''[[Historia Brittonum]]'', ''[[Historia Regum Britanniae|Historia Regnum Britianniae]]'', and the [[Welsh Triads|Welsh triads]]. According to legend, [[Vortigern]] ({{Lang-cy|Gwrtheyrn}}) [[King of the Britons|King of the Celtic Britons]] from Powys is interrupted whilst attempting to build fort at Dinas Emrys. He is told by Merlin/Ambrosius ({{Lang-cy|Myrddin}}) to dig up two dragons beneath the castle. He discovers a red dragon representing the [[Celtic Britons]] (now Welsh) and a white dragon representing Anglo-Saxons (now English). Merlin/Ambrosius prophesies that the Celtic Britons will reclaim the island and push the Anglo-Saxons back to the sea.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Red Dragon of Wales |url=https://www.maryjones.us/jce/reddragon.html |access-date=2022-08-12 |website=www.maryjones.us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite DWB|id=s-GWRT-HEY-0400|last=Williams|first=Ifor|year=1959|title=Gwrtheyrn (Vortigern)}}</ref> As an emblem, the red dragon has been used since the reign of [[Cadwaladr]], [[List of rulers of Wales|King of Gwynedd]] from around 655AD and is present on the national [[flag of Wales]], which became an official flag in 1959.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=2019-07-06 |title=Wales history: Why is the red dragon on the Welsh flag? |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-47389680 |access-date=2022-09-06}}</ref>
| The [[Y Ddraig Goch|Red Dragon]], part of the national flag design, is also a popular Welsh symbol. The oldest recorded use of the dragon to symbolise Wales is from the ''[[Historia Brittonum]]'', written around 820, but it is popularly supposed to have been the battle standard of [[King Arthur]] and other ancient [[Celt]]ic leaders. This myth is likely to have originated from the tale of [[Merlin]]'s vision of a Red (The Native Britons) and a White (The Saxon Invaders) dragon battling, with the red dragon being victorious. Following the annexation of Wales by England, the red dragon was used as a supporter in the English monarch's coat of arms. The red dragon is often seen as a shorthand for all things Welsh, being used by many indigenous public and private institutions (eg: The [[Welsh Assembly Government]], [[Visit Wales]], numerous [[Local government in Wales|local authorities]] including [[Blaenau Gwent]], [[Cardiff Council|Cardiff]], [[Carmarthenshire]], [[Rhondda Cynon Taf]], and sports bodies, including the [[Welsh Institute of Sport]], the [[Football Association of Wales]], [[Newport Gwent Dragons]], [[London Welsh RFC]], etc.)

| The [[Prince of Wales's feathers]], the heraldic badge of the [[Prince of Wales]] is sometimes adapted by Welsh bodies for use in Wales. The symbolism is explained on the article for [[Edward, the Black Prince#Emblem|Edward, the Black Prince]], who was the first [[Prince of Wales]] to bear the emblem; see also [[John I of Bohemia|John, King of Bohemia]]. The [[Welsh Rugby Union]] uses such a design for its own badge. The national sport is often considered [[rugby union]], though football is very popular too.

From the 1880s, when the traditional costume had gone out of general use, selected elements of it became adopted as a national costume. From then on it was worn by women at events such as Royal visits, by choirs, at church and chapel, for photographs and occasionally at [[eisteddfodau]]. It was first worn by girls as a celebration on [[Saint David's Day]] just before the First World War. The costume is now recognised as the [[National costume|national dress]] of Wales.<ref name="WAEoW">{{cite book |last=Davies |first=John |title=The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales |author2=Jenkins, Nigel |publisher=University of Wales Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-7083-1953-6 |location=Cardiff |pages=931–932}}</ref>
