The Bretonnian Battle Standard Bearer, carrying the Standard of the Lady of the Lake (nullifies rank bonus), is slain during a combat round. Since rank bonus is calculated at the beginning of the combat round, when the banner was still active, does the banner's effect still kick in?

Although ranks are determined at the start of the combat round, the effect of the Standard is only calculated at the end - if the Standard Bearer is slain, the enemy still physically had ranks at the start of turn, so they gain only their normal rank bonus.

The Knight's Vow says that the unit is immune to panic caused by friendly units and models with the Peasant's Duty. Does this mean it ignores panic caused by all friendly units, and enemy units with the Peasant's Duty?

No. It means that it ignores any Panic caused only by friendly units with the Peasant's Duty.

If that unit of knights is within 12" of the general " giving them the Leadership of the general (but the peasants are not themselves within 12" of the general), can the peasants use the boosted leadership of the knights (ie. he generals leadership)?

No. In this case, the unit with the Peasant's Duty may use the knights basic leadership, not the generals leadership.

Can a unit of Pegasus Knights move at double pace through difficult terrain using their ground movement, as they are skirmishers?

Oops. Although by the rules this would be the case, this was not what was intended. So, in this case, treat Pegasus Knights that are using their ground movement as skirmishers except that their movement is halved when moving through difficult terrain. Note this only applies to Flying Cavalry.

Does the Blessing Save increase provided by the Grail Shield also extend to a monstrous mount the character may be riding?

It is the opinion of the Council that the answer to this question is No. In the description of the Grail Shield it specifically states that the BEARER'S Ward save gained from the Blessing of the Lady is increased. It does NOT state that the increase also applies to monstrous mounts.

Battle Pilgrims are listed as a Rare choice in the Errantry War army list. Do they accompany a Grail Reliquae?

Can an Errantry War army hire Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown units?

No. Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown are not listed as an option in the Errantry War army list. In addition, note that standard Bretonnian armies may never hire Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown units either.
