The world's second oldest flag was designed in 1230 by Duke Leopold V. It is the national emblem for a grand old country ruled by the Habsburg family for close to 400 years. This country was home to Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many classical composers, including Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt. Can you name this nation?
Answer Austria
Legend has it that Duke Leopold V was inspired to design the Austrian flag after a battle where his outer garment was soaked in blood. Upon removing his belt, the garment underneath was still white.
