The Royal Standards of England were narrow, tapering swallow-tailed heraldic flags, of considerable length, used mainly for mustering troops in battle, in pageants and at funerals, by the monarchs of England. In high favour during the Tudor period, the Royal English Standard was a flag that was of a separate design and purpose to the Royal Banner of England. It featured St George's Cross at its head, followed by a number of heraldic devices, a supporter, badges or crests, with a motto—but it did not bear a coat of arms. The Royal Standard changed its composition frequently from reign to reign, but retained the motto ''Dieu et mon droit'', meaning God and my right; which was divided into two bands: ''Dieu et mon'' and ''Droyt''.〔Boutell's Heraldry: Frederic Warne & Co Ltd. 1973.

Mottoes were often introduced bendwise across these Standards. 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「Royal Standards of England」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
