The flag of the Isle of Man or flag of Mann (Manx: brattagh Vannin) is a triskelion, composed of three armoured legs with golden spurs, upon a red background. It has been the official flag of Mann since 1 December 1932 and is based on the Manx coat of arms, which dates back to the 13th century.[2]

The three legs are known in Manx as ny tree cassyn ("the three legs"). The triskelion is an ancient symbol, used by the Mycenaeans and the Lycians.

It is not known for definite why the symbol was originally adopted on the Isle of Man.[3] The usage of a triskelion was very popular with Scandanavian cultures, and the symbol may have been introduced to the Isle by the Norse descendants of King Analaf Cuaran, who ruled the island between the 10th century and 1266.[4][5]

The earliest depiction of the triskelion of Mann can be found on the Manx Sword of State which dates back to the early 14th century.[6]

Following English domination of the isle in 1346, the triskelion was retained and endured as a symbol of the Isle of Man.[5]
