Wha? The Duke wanted banners... so, having a permissive Heraldry system, an exception could be made

On a Gonfallon the parted field rotates 90 deg. to run with the vertical, but that would not work with this partition, so banners work far better

I thought so too... and His Grace is pleased also...

Interesting division of the field.
Not for nothing, but shouldn't there be white -de-lys pushing into the black section?

Not in this type of division, usually it's more like a Fleury-Counter-Fleury when both sides are inter-penetrative.

What the hell? Gonfalons not only are borne as standards, that is, vertically, they're also sliced!

They are standards, of the Shires. That's why they are crossed behind the shield.

What you drew are banners. And Gonfalons are always sliced and always suspended from a bar.

you probably meant to say pennants... Oo
You do have an indisputable taste for rigor and exactitude, don't you?
