Bohemian lion

[edit]

The green (Styrian) banner with a Bohemian lion is absolute nonsense! After all, the chronicler clearly describes in old German the colors of banner with the Bohemian lion.

Here is a description of a Bohemian flag in the chronicle of Ottokar aus der Gaal (also known as Otacher ouz der Geul or Ottokar von Steiermark; born about 1265, died between 1318 and 1322): Die Steirische Reimchronik.
