Talk:Jolly Roger
|

..just another theory states that the flag was derived from the old austrian flad (white eagle on black ground, which may be mistaken from the far for the Jolly Roger)because Austria at that time issued quite a number of letters of marque. It is at least as sounding as the other proposed theories.
- The theories seem to be discussing where the term for the flag ("Jolly Roger") came from, not where the design on the flag came from. 69.139.96.74 13:04, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
