Inspired by a desire to simultaneously beautify Caid and answer the eternal question "What are we going to present at PhelanLeBlanc Anniversary next week?," the Barons of Gyldenholt (Giuseppe Francesco da Borgia and Giles Hill) created the Gyldenholt Gonfalon Project, with the ambitious goal of presenting every Barony with two gonfalons bearing that Barony's arms.
Gonfalons (from the early Italian word confalone) are --quoting Wikipedia|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonfalon -- a type of heraldic flag or banner, often pointed, swallow-tailed, or with several streamers, and suspended from a crossbar in an identical manner to the ancient Roman vexillum. They were first adopted by Italian medieval communes, and later by local Guilds, Corporations and Districts. The difference between a gonfalon with long tails and a standard is that the gonfalon displays the device on the non-tailed area, while the standard displays badges down the whole length of the flag.
Specifications for Gonfalons
Finished dimensions are 20" by 23" (not including the loops at the top of the banner). Lord Dafydd ap Tomas designed the pole and base, and created a downloadable gonfalon banner plan for their construction.
