Kingdom of Croatia, 10th century

Kingdom of Croatia, 10th century

The red and white checkerboard design is historically traced to the arms of King Stephen Držislav, who ruled from 969 CE until his death around 997. By legend, it is said that he was captured by the Venetians and played a chess match against Doge Pietro II Orseolo. He won all three games and gained freedom, incorporating the red checkerboard into the Croatian coat of arms.
