Created page with "I do not concur with the assertion that "Being a banner-bearer is a nice, easy way of getting out onto the war field without having to do anything." For one, to be a banner-bear..."

New page

I do not concur with the assertion that "Being a banner-bearer is a nice, easy way of getting out onto the war field without having to do anything."

For one, to be a banner-bearer is a position of honour, to be granted to one whose worth, loyalty, and steadfastness are beyond doubt. Even if the bannerer stands at the edge of the battlefield without taking any active part in the conduct of battle, that is a significant responsibility.

And if, as they actually should, a bannerer stays near the person (Monarch, Head of House, Baron, Commander) whose banner they bear, it can be a job requiring a lot of energy and watchfulness.
