Here’s a closer look at the history of the Swedish flag:

• Legend:
  A well-known legend ties the flag’s colors to King Eric IX, who, according to the story, saw a golden cross in the sky during a crusade in Finland in the 12th century. This divine vision is said to have inspired the blue and yellow color scheme.
• Early Influences:
  The design of the Swedish flag is thought to have been inspired by the Dannebrog, which also features a Nordic cross. This design links Sweden to its historical and cultural ties with Denmark.
• National Colors:
  Blue and yellow have long been Sweden's national colors, likely stemming from the Swedish coat of arms, which depicts three gold crowns on a blue field.
