One hypothesis is that the name of the pirate flag ("Jolly Roger") comes from the name of the French war ship flag" Jolie Rouge" ("Pretty Red"). At the same time, there is no historical indication about the connection of the two similar terms. If we consider the finding that the history of a particular moment, e.g. the Estonian restoration of independence, is predominantly written by winners, then this description can change over time.
