In medieval European practice the standard was distinct from the banner: it was flown at the bearer&#8217;s headquarters rather than carried into battle and could be of great length, divided into sections each charged with a badge. In modern usage &#8216;standard&#8217; often refers to the personal flag of a head of state.<\/p>\n<p>**Example**: The Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is flown only when the Sovereign is present at a residence or vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>**See also**: [banner](\/glossary\/banner\/), [gonfalon](\/glossary\/gonfalon\/), [pennon](\/glossary\/pennon\/), [ensign](\/glossary\/ensign\/)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-612","term","type-term","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term\/612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/term"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
