![[Flag of Anglesey, Wales]](../images/g/gb-w-ang.gif)

The design is a banner of the arms ascribed by later mediaeval heralds, to
the earlier, locally celebrated ruler, Hwfa ap Cynddelw. The earliest reference
to the arms seems to be in the work of the bard Lewis Glyn Cothi from the period
of 1447 to 1486 although there is no evident explanation for the choice of
colours or charges used. A late C15th century stained glass window with the arms
referring to Hwfa are apparently depicted in the east window of Llangadwaladr
church on the island. According to the heraldic historian Scott-Giles, Anglesey
County Council used the Hwfa arms informally before they were incorporated into
the design granted to them officially. Between 1857 and 1950 the arms were used
by Anglesey Constabulary. An association between the Hwfa arms and the island
county of Anglesey is thus long established. See also

The artwork for the Anglesey flag has been finalised and it is now on the
registry. It is a traditional design, in a 3:5 ratio.
