Good Moaning,
To the point. This Mr. Big was so enamoured of his flag that he had it made into a pair of pyjamas (or so they say......... Fox News for example). Unfortunately, having been cut up for sleepware, it couldn't be flown any more.
Herzogsstandarte
[Ducal Standard 1914-1918 (Brunswick, Germany)] 2:3
by Andy Weir and Theo van der Zalm
In 1913 peace was sealed [between the House of Brunswick/Hanover and Prussia] with the marriage of prince Ernst August of Hanover to Victoria Louise, daughter of the German Emperor William II. This couple was then enthroned in the duchy of Brunswick. The flag they adopted shows however very much the British pattern in its form and contents. In the first and fourth quarters are the two lions of Brunswick, in the second and third the lion and hearts of Lüneburg. In the centre are the arms of Hanover but now with a ducal [not royal] crown. Source: Neubecker 1933, p. 61.
I am quite enamored of some of the city flags, especially port flags, with some sort of sailing ship over blue and white squiggles.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Beaufort Duchy of Somerset, 1443-1464. The family, after various ups, downs and sideways, is now known (since 1682) as Somerset, Dukes of Beaufort.
This is the family that provided five volunteers for Y-DNA testing to see if the "official" Plantagenet Y-DNA could be determined.
No such luck.
One of the five didn't match the other four, and NONE of them matched the actual Y-DNA extracted from the remains of Richard III. The jury's still out pending further information.
A fretty is the repeated (lozengy in this case) crosshatch pattern. If only the center feature is present, that's ermine, fret gules, and is probably the arms borne by the first McCullough to ever achieve armiger status. Fretty is the diminutive of fret, and it essentially means "I'm related to that guy." But, altogether too often, I see our Clan Arms depicted incorrectly, as "ermine, fret gules", and it drives me batty.

possibly because of the problem of painting all those little dots.
Two particularly well-known examples are the Duchy of Brittany (a simple field ermine) and Malory of Newbold Revel (Ermine, a chevron gules within a bordure engrailed sable). I'm being a stickler here, because the latter is also known as "Revell", but it appears that the original Revell arms had a plain Or (gold/yellow) field. Stephen Malory of Draughton married Margaret, the Revell heiress, and either he or his descendants adopted the differenced (ermine) version. The best-known member of this family is of course Sir Thomas Malory, knight, prisoner, hellraiser and probable author of the Morte D'Arthur.

Got it. Didn't take too long this time.

You've got it.

Those are really unattractive lion representations.

Identified your banner too

Close, but not quite
It's the banner/standard of John, Henry, Joan and Thomas Beaufort, the half-siblings of Henry IV.
The later Beaufort duchies are a result.

Thought they used semé of fleurs-de-lis
Using just three of them was, I thought, a later development, which would put it into the "Duchy" era.
Whatever, it's all the same family.

My own arms have similar issues.
I'm a McCullough. Our standard Clan Arms are blazoned ermine, fretty gules. One correct form is as follows:

Ermine isn't one of the usual fields
