Montfort church flag

This article or section needs to be revised: The coat of arms originally comes from the Count Palatine of Tübingen, so the article and lemma are quite nonsense.
Please help to improve it , and then remove this flag.

The Montfort church flag , in heraldry the Montfort gonfanon , was the coat of arms of the southern German noble family Montfort . It is a flag attached to a crossbar with three pendants , that is, it is cut twice at the bottom. This creates drooping flaps. The terms dreilatzig and bibs are incorrectly used. Strictly speaking, these are reserved for the tournament collar . This flag is often shown without a crossbar. Everything developed from the symbolized title and the dignity of the patrons and the standard bearers of the papal church. There was always a feudal relationship between the aristocratic house and the parish bailiff. The flag has also found its way into city heraldry. Examples are Böblingen and Tübingen .
