Banner

Banner
A knight who led a significant number of troops into battle was entitled to carry a banner. This banner, emblazoned with his device or a badge or a recognizable symbol, was useful for rallying troops inn the confusion of battle. The form of the banner was largely dependent upon the rank of the knight and size of his contingent. Knights with small household units, called lances or on their own typically bore a small triangular pennant rather than a banner. Knights with larger groups were known as knights banneret, a rank that seems to have been vaguely formalized during the 14th century. See Chronique: The Journal of Chivalry \#11.
