banneret

Så banneret på Twitter lørdag, troede ikke mine egne øjne.

OE. baneret, OF. baneret, F. banneret; properly a dim. of OF. baniere.

Chandos, Sir John, made banneret, 31.

Having mentioned this old poem—in which the arms of every banneret in the English army are accurately blazoned—it may be interesting to give one of the opening verses, as an example of the Norman French of the period— "La ont meinte riche garnement Brode sur cendeaus et samis, Meint beau penon en lance mis, Meint baniere desploie."

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.
