Note 71 — BOOK III. (continued 2)
T. (Tobias) Smollett translation
It was the custom of knights to wear a coat of arms made of some rich stuff figured in a particular manner. The Duke of Brabant being called in a hurry to the battle of Agincourt, took a trumpeter’s banner, and making a hole through the middle, put it over his head, and wore it as his coat of arms.
