TRUE. Based on some sources it was first used in 1230 and is originated from the Babenberg dynasty (10-13th century). According to legend, Duke Leopold V of Austria adopted the combination of red-white-red as the basis of the Austrian flag after he managed to survive a fierce battle. The present-day Austrian flag is red (top and bottom) and white with the Coat of arms of Austria at its centre.
