Many missions, many flags.

WHY?
Jeanne used three ensigns or flags, two of which were for military use (the standard and pennon), and one for religious purposes, the banner.

1. The standard (3 feet in height, 12 feet long, ending with two tails), denoting her command of the battle. 

• Made of a white fabric called 'boucassin', fringed with white silk. 
• Painted in the style of the last Judgement.
• On front the figure of Christ holding the world, and an angel on either side, flanked above by the words "Jhesus Maria".
• On the back, two angels bearing the coat of arms of the Dauphin.
• Numerous fleur-de-lis in the background.

   2. The pennon (triangular in shape), denoting her new knighthood.

• Similar fleur-de-lis background and "Jhesus Maria"
• Painted like the Annunciation
• The archangel Gabriel presenting a natural lily to the Blessed Virgin Mary
• A dove painted over an azure area holding in its beak a streamer with the inscription 'De par le Roy du Ciel' (The King of Heaven commands it)

• If assumed that the dove represented God, the pennon thus implies that the Holy Spirit testified that Jeanne's message came from God.

 








 3. The banner, which served as an identification toward the knight's disposition or character.

• Jeanne's banner carried the scene of the Crucifixion 
• Created for the priests and men of the army
• Used to assemble for morning and evening prayers.
