I'm talking loooooooong...the ones that start at the top of the wall and hang almost all the way to the bottom. They usually have one or two points at the bottom.

The Castle Banner measures 48 inches in height and is wide 22 1/2 inches. The Castle Banner was inspired by the romantic castles of old. This Glistening Silver Castle takes you back in time and gives you a touch of Camelot! The Castle Banner features deep black top panel with complementing royal blue bottom panel. Made of durable cotton.
The main function of castles was defense. The walls would usually come up first so nothing could hurt the castle while it was being built. During the Middle Ages, lords and kings often built castles for territorial expansion and control of a region. A castle was a stronghold from which a lord or baron could control surrounding territory.

I believe you'll find they are called pennants,
and are still available on the internet for those of you looking to add stately atmosphere to your own castle.
