The word first appears in this sense in See also:Rabelais in the phrase " See also:bonnet d la coquarde," which is explained by See also:Cotgrave (1611) as a " See also:Spanish cap or See also:fashion of bonnet used by substantial men of yore

William III.'s cockade was of yellow, and the See also:House of See also:Hanover introduced theirs of See also:black, which in its See also:present spiked or circular See also:form of See also:leather is worn in See also:England to-See also:day by the royal coachmen and grooms, and the servants of all officials or members of the services
.
At the See also:battle of See also:Sheriffmuir in the reign of See also:George I. the See also:English soldiers wore a black rosette in their hats, and in a contemporary See also:song are called " the red-coat lads wi' black cockades." At the outbreak of the See also:French Revolution of 1789, cockades of See also:green ribbon were adopted
.
These afterwards gave See also:place to the tricolour cockade, which is said to have been a mixture of the traditional See also:colours of See also:Paris (red and See also:blue) with the white of the Bourbons, the See also:early Revolutionists being still Royalists
.
The French See also:army wore the tricolour cockade until the Restoration
.
To-day each See also:foreign nation has its See also:special coloured cockade
.
Thus the See also:Austrian is black and yellow, the Bavarian See also:light blue and white, the Belgian black, yellow and red, French the tricolour, Prussian black and white, See also:Russian green and white, and so on, following usually the See also:national colours
.
Originally the wearing of a cockade, as soon as it had developed into a badge, was restricted to soldiers, as " to See also:mount a cockade " was " to become a soldier." There is still a trace of the cockade as a badge in certain military headgears in England and elsewhere
.
Otherwise it has become entirely the See also:mark of domestic service
