Ind Coys reference. What were Blazons?

[Bruce Scott]

From: The British Army: Its Origin, Progress, and Equipment, Volume 2:

"The roll of Caerlaverlock gives the blazons of the banners of nearly 100 of the nobles and bannerets who were present at the siege with Edward I in 1300."

The quote is from a section of the book headed 'Pennons and Guidons'.

It can be seen at p.11 here:

A definition:
Blazon: to depict (heraldic arms or the like) in proper form and color.

Thanks all. Seems to confirm my initial thoughts and the fact that this was not an item of dress despite being lumped in with items of clothing.
