The Heralds

The Heralds are messenger officials or officers in ceremonial, military, or heraldic contexts. Historically, they announced royal events, arranged tournaments, and verified coats of arms, ensuring proper display of noble symbols. In heraldry, they are experts who authenticate and describe coats of arms, maintaining standards and traditions. Today, some heralds still perform ceremonial roles in monarchies or national events, serving as representatives of historical and cultural heritage. Essentially, Heralds act as specialized communicators and preservers of tradition, balancing ceremonial duties with expert knowledge of symbols and lineage.
