The Tabard Inn is the name of an inn in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.  A tabard is a coat without sleeves, a sort of over-tunic which a herald might wear or a lord's man-at-arms.  In Chaucer's book the tabard is an actual tabard hung outside the inn.  Ideally, what you need is the body of a knight with the same printing on front and back and then hand it out on a pole.

Gordon that is indeed a brilliant idea  :)9 :)9 :)9!!! And ties very well with my memories of Canterbury!!! The original Inn was situated in Southwark, London, if I remember correctly, right?

Any clues as to what the Tabard Inn's  tabard had on it?

You are right as to the location, Panos.  As to what the tabard had on it, if anything, I don't know but when next in town I'll call in the library and see if they have a copy and try to find out for you.

Thank you for the links Elaine!!! Much appreciated!!! They are indeed a great help!!! Especially fot the building process with steck!!

It seems to me that the tabard was depicting a shield on it and two crosed weapons behind it... A the magic of interpretation!!! Who knows if it was really designed this way.... Unless there is a reference to the book...
