The "Jolly Roger" is one of the most frightening flags in the world. For hundreds of years, it flew on the masts of pirate ships. It shows a skull and two crossed bones. The meaning for people on other ships was clear: surrener or die ! The flag appeared in Mediterranean, after the Crusades. Maybe the first pirates who used it were crusaders. They used a red flag, but later they changed it to black. Like many road sings today, there were no words on the flag. There is a reason for this. People who spoke different languages could all understand the meaning. The skull and bones mean that life is short. You can find the same sign in many old buildings and churches in Britan, and in othere countries in Europe, too.
