A cockade is a knot of ribbons, or other circular- or oval-shaped symbol of distinctive colors which is usually worn on a hat. ==Eighteenth century== In the 18th and 19th centuries, coloured cockades were used in Europe to show the allegiance of their wearers to some political faction, their rank, or as part of a servant's livery. Military uniforms would use cockades as well. A cockade was pinned on the side of a man's tricorne or cocked hat, or on his lapel. Women could also wear it on their hat or in their hair. In pre-revolutionary France, the cockade of the Bourbon dynasty was all white. In the Kingdom of Great Britain supporters of a Jacobite restoration wore white cockades, while the recently established Hanoverian monarchy used a black cockade. During the 1780 Gordon Riots in London the blue cockade became a symbol of anti-government feelings and was worn by most of the rioters. During the American Revolution, the Continental Army initially wore cockades of various colors as an ''ad hoc'' form of rank insignia, as General George Washington wrote: Before long however, the Continental Army reverted to wearing the black cockade they inherited from the British. Later, when France became an ally of the United States, the Continental Army pinned the white cockade of the French ''Ancien Régime'' onto their old black cockade; the French reciprocally pinned the black cockade onto their white cockade, as a mark of the French-American alliance. The black-and-white cockade thus became known as the "Union Cockade". In the Storming of the Bastille, Camille Desmoulins initially encouraged the revolutionary crowd to wear green; this colour was later rejected as it was associated with the reactionary Count of Artois. Instead revolutionaries would wear cockades with the traditional colours of the arms of Paris, red and blue. Later the Bourbon white was added to this cockade - thus producing the original ''Tricolore'' cockade. Later, distinctive colours and styles of cockade would indicate the wearer's faction—although the meanings of the various styles were not entirely consistent, and varied somewhat by region and period. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cockade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
