Tearing off the points of a pennon turns it into a banner. A pennon, with its two points, was the personal ensign of a knight; the banner was square or oblong and was the collective ensign of a banneret and the knights, men-at-arms and others under his command. Thus a pennon indicated knightly rank, while a banner was the emblem of military authority. (Boutell 1859, pp. 293, 305, illus.) Boutell, Charles (1 October 1859).
