Topic: The Bearer of the Royal Banner


  
  Clan Campbell Society (NA) Heraldry
Where available, it would be very colorful and totally appropriate to fly the heraldic banner of the Federation of Clan Campbell Societies at all Society tents and tables and as the lead banner in a parade (unless the Chief was present with his banner and banner bearer).
The boar's head banner is appropriate to fly at the tents and to carry in parades.
Tartan banners are an American invention and have no heraldic significance but do have the advantage of demonstrating which is the Campbell tartan authorized for the clan by the Chief.

  FLAG - LoveToKnow Article on FLAG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The banner was, in the earlier days of chivalry, a square flag, though at a later date it is often found greater in length than in depth, precisely as is the case in the ordinary national flags of to-day.
As the function of the banner was to display the armorial bearings of the dignitary who had the right to carry it, it is evident that the square form was the most convenient and akin to the shield of primal heraldry.
The flag for the royal navy is similar to that flown by the mercantile marine, with the exception that it has the addition of a golden crown in the centre of the cross.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Reductions of Paraguay
The entire foundation and development of the Reductions took place with the consent of the Spanish kings and on the strength of the royal decrees and privileges, which were summarized, confirmed and enlarged in the famous decree of Philip V of 28 December, 1743.
On all patronal feasts the royal standard was borne to the church with great ceremony, and the alferez real, who carried it, received with regal honours at the church door.
The isolation of the Indians and the exclusion of the Spaniards from the territory of the Reductions, prompted by reasons of principle and strictly enforced, have given the opponents of the Jesuits ample material for sinister insinuations.

 Scrimgeour Clan - Brief History
The first bearer of the name was one Alexander Carron, who received the hereditary title of Royal Standard (or Banner) Bearer of Scotland after an exceptionally brave action in the presence of the then King of Scots whose army was crossing the river Spey.
Carron's descendent, Alexander Scrymgeour, was an adherent of Sir William Wallace, and the only Charter known to have been granted by Wallace as 'Guardian of the Realm' confirmed him as Royal Banner Bearer, granted him lands in Angus, and made him 'Constable of the Castle of Dundee'.
This was not the only time that bearing the Royal Banner proved a hazard as well as an honour, as several Chiefs of the Clan died in battle.
