The Order of the Knights Bannerets was a French knighthood mentioned in a biography of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton, 1st Baronet (1570-1631) by Thomas Smith.
Smith writes: "Ex omnibus inventis propositis illud uti videtur,de novo equitem ordine instituendo regi Jacobo I maxime placuit" (i.e. "Of all the proposed findings that were to be seen, the knighthood order newly formed by James I pleased especially ").
Ackermann mentions this chivalric order as historical order of France
