In Britain, the dragon is now more commonly associated with Wales , as its national flag features a red dragon ( Y Ddraig Goch ). Di Britania, naga sekarang lebih umum dikaitkan dengan Wales, sebagai fitur bendera nasional naga merah (Y Ddraig Goch). This may originate in Arthurian Legend where Myrddin , employed by Gwrtheyrn , had a vision of the red dragon [ 6 ] (representing the Britons ) and the white dragon (representing the invading Saxons ) fighting beneath Dinas Emrys .

Hal ini mungkin berasal dari Legenda Arthur di mana Myrddin, dipekerjakan oleh Gwrtheyrn, memiliki visi naga merah [6] (mewakili Britons) dan naga putih (mewakili yang menyerang Saxon) bertarung di bawah Dinas Emrys. This particular legend also features in the Mabinogion in the story of Lludd and Llefelys . [ 7 ] Legenda khusus ini juga fitur-fitur dalam Mabinogion dalam kisah Lludd dan Llefelys. [7]

According to Fox-Davies , the red dragon of Wales originated with the standard of the 7th century king Cadwaladr , and was used as a supporter by the Tudor dynasty (who were of Welsh origin). [ 8 ] Queen Elizabeth, however, preferring gold, changed the royal mantle and the dragon supporter from red to gold, and some Welsh scholars still hold that the dragon of Wales is properly ruddy gold rather than gules . [ 8 ] There may be some doubt of the Welsh origin of the dragon supporter of the Royal arms , but it certainly was used by King Henry III . [ 8 ] It has also been speculated that the red dragon of Wales may have even earlier origins in the Sarmatian -influenced Draco standards carried by Late Roman cavalry, who would have been the primary defence against the Saxons.

Menurut Fox-Davies, naga merah berasal dari Wales dengan standar dari abad ke-7 raja Cadwaladr, dan digunakan sebagai pendukung oleh Dinasti Tudor (yang berasal dari Welsh). [8] Ratu Elizabeth, bagaimanapun, lebih suka emas , mengubah kerajaan mantel dan naga merah ke pendukung dari emas, dan beberapa sarjana Welsh masih berpendapat bahwa naga Wales benar kemerahan daripada emas warna merah. [8] Ada beberapa keraguan dari asal Welsh pendukung naga the Royal lengan, tapi jelas ini digunakan oleh Raja Henry III. [8] Juga telah berspekulasi bahwa naga merah Wales mungkin bahkan lebih awal asal-usul dalam Sarmatian-dipengaruhi standar Draco dibawa oleh Terlambat Roma kavaleri, yang akan menjadi pertahanan utama terhadap Saxon.
