The flag is christian, I don’t think that’s the vikings doing
Viking was a job description, not a nationality. Also, it was a Monty Python quote.

The Vikings converted to Christianity shortly after 966, so about 250 years before the tale of the flag.

The flag holds the world record of being the oldest continuously used national flag, that is since 1625.
While the flag might date back to 1219, it wasn’t in continuous use until 1625.
Turkish flag is an interesting case, as it’s nearly a 100 years older than Turkey.
The design has been used by the late Ottoman Empire, and then adopted when the Republic of Turkey (now regretting to itself as Turkiye) was established.
I’ll admit, I am no flag expert but is the union Jack is made up of a few different flags that surely have to be older? Scottish saltire, st Georges cross.
