The flag of Sweden dates back to the 16th
century. It is believed to be inspired by the Coats of Arms of Sweden, which
feature three yellow crowns on a blue background, and modelled on the Danish
flag, the
Dannebrog. King John III took the form of the current Swedish flag into use
in 1569. Prior to this, a similar flag appeared in the Coat of Arms of John's
duchy, which is today southwest Finland.
