Ex. Argent. Three arrows proper, banded.

BANNER. The principal standard of a knight. The great banner borne at
the funeral of a nobleman contains all the quarterings of his arms: it
varies in size according to the rank of the deceased. The banner of
the sovereign is five feet square; that of a prince or duke, four feet
square; for all noblemen of inferior rank, three feet square.

BANNER ROLL is a small square flag containing a single escutcheon of
the deceased. Thus, if there are twelve quarterings in the banner,
the same number of banner rolls will be required to be borne in
the funeral procession. The annexed engraving shows the banner and
banner-roll.

BAR. An honourable ordinary, occupying one-fifth of the shield. It may
be placed in any part of the field. It has two diminutives, the closet
and barrulet.
