banneret
Flag-bearing feudal lord
A banneret was a medieval knight of higher rank than ordinary knights, entitled to lead troops under his own banner rather than a pennon.
The title was typically granted on the battlefield for distinguished service.
The rank fell between knight and baron, carrying the privilege of commanding other knights.
The term is purely historical.
