This combination of a
Maltese cross and St. George's cross is sometimes called a Greek
cross. In this
structural group of graphs there are no less than three different
cross designs called Greek crosses.
This type of cross was quite common in Scandinavia during the
Viking era, for which one of the reasons might be the export of young
Vikings from Sweden to Miklagard (Constantinople), during the
centuries around A.D. 800, for service in the guard protecting the
Byzantine emperor and his glorious city at the Golden Horn.
