Pennon

A pennon or pennant is a flag that is larger at the hoist than at the fly. It can have several shapes, like triangular, tapering or triangular swallow-tailed.

It was one of the principal three varieties of flags carried during the Middle Ages (the other two were the banner and the standard).Pennoncells and streamers or pendants are minor varieties of this style of flag. The pennon is a flag resembling the guidon in shape, but only half the size. It does not contain any coat of arms, but only crests, mottos and heraldic and ornamental devices.

Etymology

Pennon comes from the Latin penna meaning "a wing" or "a feather".

Description

The pennon was sometimes pointed, but more generally forked or swallow-tailed at the end. In the 11th century, the pennon was generally square, one end being decorated with the addition of pointed tongues or streamers, somewhat similar to the oriflamme. During the reign of Henry III, the pennon acquired the distinctive swallow-tail, or the single-pointed shape. Another version of the single-pointed pennon was introduced in the 13th century. In shape this was a scalene triangle, obtained by cutting diagonally the vertically oblong banner.

The basal region is limited by a slightly curved, blackish transverse band. A large dark triangle costal patch which becomes a jagged line is getting thinner towards the inner edge is an unmistakable pattern. The hindwings are brown-grey and show a faint cross line.
