England takes its linguistic and most recent heritage roots to the Seven Kingdoms period. In honor of that time frame we have the Seven English Kingdom's Flag. In the canton is the flag of England, the red cross on white. If you read across then the winged dragon is Wessex, the three crowns belong to East Anglia, the three swords represent Essex. On the bottom from the left-fly area is the horse of Kent, the birds of Sussex, the bars of Northumbria, and finally the yellow X on blue for Mercia.
The other parts of the UK have a Celtic orientation. There has been a lot of mixing, but these seven kingdoms have been at the cultural heart of the English, for it was of this tribe of seven whose language would be imparted upon the seven corners of the Earth and Moon.
