The cry of weapons or war takes some words to a nation, a city, a house shows were written on their banners. He formerly served
signal, either to give battle or to recognize themselves in the fray, either to rally the troops and revive their courage; Knights also used them in games and tournaments. This cry, much in use among the French and other peoples of Europe, was only renewed custom of ancient peoples.
Among the moderns, the cry of war knights belonged only with the right to banner. So there was in an army as much shouting as banners, but also the cries individuals, there was a general for the whole army was the king or commander in chief.

The cry of the kings of France is " Mount Joy, Saint-Denis!".
Raoul de Presle, who lived under Charles V, known as Clovis fighting in the valley of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, the battle ended on the mountain where a tower was called Mount Joy. Scenel Robert, bishop of Avranches, said Clovis, in danger at the battle of Tolbiac, just before embracing Christianity, Saint-Denis invoked under the name of Jupiter, shouting: Saint-Denis! my Jove! where they made then Mount Joy.
The former authors have not given the true origin of this cry, and most accredited opinion today is that of Saint-Cher Huguet, who reports that the pilgrims were wont to call Mount Joie heaps of stones on which they planted the cross: Constituunt acervum lapidum and ponunt cruces and dicitur Mons-Gaudiya . Del Rio attests the same thing the pilgrims of Saint-Jacques in Galicia.
There was a lot of joy on the mountain-road to St. Denis, and when we went to get the banner that our kings had made it screamed across Route: Mont-Saint-Denis Joy!
This cry was repeated in the war, and became one of the kings of France.
