pennons
Knights' lance flags
Pennons are long, narrow flags or streamers, typically triangular or swallow-tailed, historically attached to a knight's lance or flown from a ship's mast.
The word appears in literary and historical contexts describing medieval warfare or nautical scenes: Pennons snapped in the wind as the cavalry advanced.
A single such flag is a pennon.
