According to legend, Pope Alexander II gave William the Conqueror a "guidon" to take with him on his invasion of England in 1066 A.D. A guidon is a swallow shaped military banner, which flies on a single pole. In the famous Bayeux Tapestry a knight is pictured carrying this banner; historically he is identified as "E". Historians belief "E" was actually Eustace, count of Boulogne--an important ally of William.

The Normans used kite-shaped shields primarily for their effectiveness in both defense and offense during battles. The elongated, curved design allowed for better coverage of the body while on horseback, providing protection from arrows and melee attacks. Additionally, the shape enhanced maneuverability and facilitated a more dynamic fighting style, which was crucial in cavalry engagements. This design became emblematic of Norman warfare during the medieval period.
