The 98th flag mentioned and illustrated in theBook of All Kingdoms is attributed to Vecina, which is identified as Widdin, also known as Vidin, in current NW Bulgaria, a a white with four red squares placed 2+2 forming a thin white cross, in the ogival default shape of this source. The anonymous author ofBook of All Kingdoms describes the flag thus: "ha por se�ales un pend�n blanco con estas se�ales bermejas." (="It has a white flag with four red squares.") According to [f0f12] (#83 on plate 17 between p.52-53), the manuscript "S" [f0fXXs] shows this flag.
