In Richard Coeur De Lion We Find

"Many a pencel of sykelatoun And of sendel of grene and broun,"

And also pavilions of sendel; and in the Anglo-French ballad of the death of William Earl of Salisbury in St. Lewis's battle on the Nile -

"Le Meister du Temple brace les chivaux Et le Count Long-Espee depli les sandaux."

The oriflamme of France was made of cendal. Chaucer couples taffetas and sendal. His "Doctor of Physic"

"In sanguin and in perse clad was alle, Lined with taffata and with sendalle."

[La Curne, Dict., s.v. Sendaus has: Silk stuff: "Somme de la delivrance des sendaus" (Nouv.

CENDAL, "cendau, cendral, cendel, ... sendail, ... etoffe legere de soie unie qui parait avoir ete analogue au taffetas." "'On faisait des cendaux forts ou faibles, et on leur donnait toute sorte de couleurs. On s'en servait surtout pour vetements et corsets, pour doublures de draps, de fourrures et d'autres etoffes de soie plus precieuses, enfin pour tenture d'appartements.' (Bourquelot, Foir. de Champ. I. 261)."

"J'ay de toilles de mainte guise, De sidonnes et de cendaulx. Soyes, satins blancs et vermaulx." - Greban, Mist. de la Pass., 26826, G. Paris. - H.C.]

The origin of the word seems also somewhat doubtful. The word [Greek: Sendes] occurs in Constant. Porphyrog. de Ceremoniis (Bonn, ed.
