According to legends, it is said that the red, white, and red horizontally divided flag was derived from the story of how the Austrian Duke Leopold Ⅴ used his white uniform, which was tainted by the Muslim enemy's blood in all areas but the belt, as a flag in the the Third Crusade of late 12th century. There is a governmental flag besides the national flag, and in the center of that flag is the national emblem of an eagle with a broken chain on its feet, symbolizing freedom.
