Why do you call the Swiss Flag the Flag of the Holy Roman Empire? The original Flag was a Black Eagle on yellow Ground. And the colors black and yellow were used long time by the austrian empire an last till the first world war. I mean OK maybe they used this flag for the crusades, but I never heard about it as the usual flag. As far as i know even Otto the Great used the black Eagle on yellow ground and he was before Friedrich Barbarossa.
