Bannerman

Pawn
Bannockburn English (Dark) Side

Available only with complete set

This was King Edward's own bannerman. The monarch's presence had to be identified in battle and Kings had their own banner-bearers, chosen for their courage and endurance, to hold the colours aloft.

As this was as much a magnet for the enemy as beacon for the king's own, the bravery of the bannermen was legend. As one might expect, these had their deputies, to take over the royal standard if they should fall to an enemy sword or arrow.
