- Its use is generally traced back to Edward, the Black Prince (1330–1376), the eldest son and heir apparent of Edward III of England.
- The prince also used badges of one or more ostrich feathers in a number of other contexts.
- The feathers had first appeared at the marriage of Edward III to Philippa of Hainault, and it is therefore likely that the Black Prince inherited the badge from his mother.
