For a full list of banners mentioned in primary sources see [[Banners from Literature]].<br><br>Included here are only those quotes that describe the appearance of banners. I have omitted those quotes that just describe the banner as golden. <br><br>===Bede – Ecclesiastical History of the English People, 731AD===* Osthryth, queen of the Mercians:<span style="font-style: italic; color: green">"...that there might be a perpetual memorial of the royal character of this holy man [King Oswald], they hung up over the monument his banner of gold and purple." [SELLAR 1907]===The Song of Roland, 1040-115AD===*Verse 39:<span style="font-style: italic; color: green">"They held Valentian lances, and shield on shoulder wore. <br>:<span style="font-style: italic; color: green">White and blue and vermilion were the gonfalons they bore." [BACON 1914]
