Flags and Coat of Arms of Krivia (Rogvold the Wise)

This page shows the history of the Flags and Coats of Arms of the Principality of Polotsk and its successor the Kingdom of Krivia.

Polotsk Banner
The original flag of Polotsk or the Polotsk banner was simply a standard carried into battle. The banner was a crimson colour, with an Allerion, a mythical creature ressembling an eagle without a beak, on the center. The flag was first adopted in Bryachislav I of Polotsk's reign, as the first banner of Christian Polotsk. It remained in use until the creation of the Kingdom of Krivia, when it was replaced by the Royal Banner.

Vladmiran Banner
The Vladmiran Banner was created by Vladmir I, the first king of Krivia, as the official new flag of his new nation. The flag was a crimson, white and purple horizontal stripped tricolor, with the Krivian coat of arms in the center. The flag continued to be used throughout the reign of the Vladmiran Dynasty, and was officially replaced by the Olegislavan Banner in 1452 after the death of the last Vladmiran king.
