Historical accounts of the flag's usage by the Kings of Tretrid date all the way back to the late 13th century, though it is believed the usage of the standard began earlier. The flag is traditionally attributed to [[Ælfric I of Tretrid|Ælfric I]], the King of Norþrenia, during his campaigns that would eventually unify Tretrid. The flag is one of the oldest flags to still be in use.
