bannerman^¹

Where it comes from

From banner + -man.

noun bannermen

A person assigned to carry the colours, standards or guidons of a military unit. Everything basically winds up the way you’d expect, with Jon heading to Dragonstone to scope out Dany while Cersei more or less successfully marshals some Tyrell bannermen and some Qyburn inventions for the defense of King’s Landing. But it doesn’t feel like a foregone conclusion.
A man who belonged to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
A person of Manchu descent.
A samurai in the direct service of the Tokugawa shogunate of feudal Japan, also known as a hatamoto.
