banneret

In England that of a duke was seven yards in length, of a banneret four and a half, and of a knight-bachelor four yards.

His son and heir, another Sir John, admiral of the king’s navy in the north, was a banneret who displayed his banner in the army that laid siege to Calais.

The snow-white bannerets are dyed with blood of Moorish slain, And chargers rush all masterless across the littered plain.

While the curtains are spread out all around, several small green and white bannerets stand at the upper and lower end of the sarcophagus.

So stout a knight was he, that by his prowess he was made a double banneret, and was worth four thousand pounds in land.
