Burgundian Flags

[debohunkeith]

Greetings all

I was wondering whether anyone knew how the flags of the Burgundian army of Charles the Bold were carried? ie Were they mainly carried by men on horse or on foot?

There were heraldic banners of various knights and nobles, the large company standards, guidons and the oblong cornets. Who carried each type? I am assuming that because most men at arms fought on horseback then their banners would be carried by a horseman (?) Would the large standards be carried in the centre of the pike block, or also on horse?

Any help would be most appreciated.
