bannern.1
/ˈbanə/, U.S. /ˈbænər/ 1.
a. A piece of stout cloth, attached by one side to the upper part of a long pole or staff, and used as the standard of an emperor, king, lord, or knight, under (or after) which he and his men marched to war, and which served as their rallying-point in battle; hence, that of a country, nation, army, or company. Phrases: to join the banner of, follow the banner of. In the literal sense, now chiefly historical; in poetry and elevated prose, applied to the standard or flag of a country; common in figurative expressions.Heraldically, a banner means a square or quadrangular flag, displaying the arms of the person in whose honour it is borne, and varying in size from that of an emperor, six feet square, to that of a knight banneret, three feet square. In this sense we still commonly speak of the banners of the Knights of the Garter, in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.
