Has anyone made a flag with the colors of Henry V's banner for the French and English throne?

This one:
ENGLAND_1405.gif


I am currently crushing France and I would very much like to switch to a more appropriate flag once my claim on the French throne has been accepted. (As soon as France is no more, that is)

Many thanks in advance!

Just a curiosity - could someone work up a flag/shield set for a French-dominated England (like as a vassal after conquest)? I was thinking maybe a St. George's cross in blue and gold...

You don't mean the Swedish flag, do you? :D

A cross in blue and gold wouldn't be a St. George's cross any more, right? I mean you can't just change the colors of the English flag, the flag would lose all its significance. There were - and are - innumerable flags with a cross shaped like the St. George's cross but only the gules-on-silver (red on white) one, the real St. George's cross, is the English symbol.

It's hard to imagine anything else as an English banner. Maybe you might want to use the coats-of-arms of some "alternate" royal house as the English banner. But then, soldiers "fighting for their flag" would no longer be fighting for their country but only for their king, if you understand what I mean. Sort of like the US presidential seal and the Stars-and-Stripes...

Good point. And no, I didn't mean the Swedish; I wanted more of a gold than a yellow. But that's old news now.

Hmm... got me thinking here... maybe a Quebec-style flag with a red cross inside the white cross (similar to the British flag, with the white outlining the red; except it wouldn't have the diagonals like a British flag)? Possibly with gold fleur-de-lis instead of white?
