pennons

Then there were pennons floating from the tops of the tents, and sheaves of spears leaning against them.

Outside the Merchant’s House a trestle table had been set up in the shade and decorated with striped blue-and-white pennons that fluttered at every breath of air.

Pale red pennons trailed from the ends of a few lances, but many more carried battle-axes and great- swords and shields hacked half to splinters.

Torch flames fluttered like pennons along the walls, and here and there the odd torch guttered out.

Soon after I arrived a squadron of the body-guard rode up from the city, carrying red-and-green pennons on long staffs, and halted before the gates of the palace.
