Wikipedia
banneret
A knight banneret, sometimes known simply as banneret, was a medieval knight ("a commoner of rank") who led a company of troops during time of war under his own banner (which was square-shaped, in contrast to the tapering standard or the pennon flown by the lower-ranking knights) and was eligible to bear supporters in English heraldry. The military rank of a knight banneret was higher than a knight bachelor (who fought under another's banner), but lower than an earl or duke. For the derivation of the word see below under Origins. Under English custom the rank of knight banneret could only be conferred by the sovereign on the field of battle. There were some technical exceptions to this; when his standard was on the field of battle he could be regarded as physically present though he was not. His proxy could be regarded as a sufficient substitution for his presence. The wife of a banneret was styled as banneress.

banneret
A banneret is a title of honor, originating from medieval Europe, given to a knight for distinguished military service, superior valour, or extraordinary achievement on the battlefield. This knight was then privileged to lead his men into battle under his own square banner, instead of fighting under his lord's banner. The term can also refer to the actual banner under which such a knight led his men.
