These are often appointed for a specific major state occasions, such as a coronation. Temporary appointments can be made of "Heralds of Arms Extraordinary". In England and Scotland most heralds are full-time employees of the sovereign and are called "Heralds of Arms in Ordinary". There are active official heralds today in several countries, including the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Canada, and the Republic of South Africa. In the United Kingdom heralds are still called upon at times to read proclamations publicly for which they still wear tabards emblazoned with the royal coat of arms. This practice of heraldry became increasingly important and further regulated over the years, and in several countries around the world it is still overseen by heralds. Heralds were required to organise, announce and referee the contestants at a tournament. Heralds have been employed by kings and large landowners, principally as messengers and ambassadors. It was possibly due to their role in managing the tournaments of the Late Middle Ages that heralds came to be associated with the regulation of the knights' coats of arms. Like other officers of arms, a herald would often wear a surcoat, called a tabard, decorated with the coat of arms of his master. During the Battle of Agincourt, the English herald and the French herald, Montjoie, watched the battle together from a nearby hill both agreed that the English were the victors, and Montjoie provided King Henry V, who thus earned the right to name the battle, with the name of the nearby castle. In the Hundred Years' War, French heralds challenged King Henry V to fight. Heralds were originally messengers sent by monarchs or noblemen to convey messages or proclamations-in this sense being the predecessors of modern diplomats. The title is commonly applied more broadly to all officers of arms. Tabard worn by an English herald in the College of Arms Ī herald, or a herald of arms, is an officer of arms, ranking between pursuivant and king of arms.
