What is a Merchant’s Banner from the Medieval Time Period?
Posted on October 23rd, 2009 by admin
My daughter has to make a Merchant’s Banner from the time period of the Medieval, but we have no idea what that is. She is in 7th grade and it is for her Social Studies Class.
It is the banners of the coats of arms of medieval guilds including skinners, glaziers, pewterers and goldsmiths.
Religion also played its part in guild life with many trades having their own patron saint, for example, St Augustine for brewing and St Adrian for butchers. The patron saint might also appear on livery and banners used by the guild.
Some ideas:
