==Trivia== |
||
*The term "herald" designates an official present at tournaments, particularly those associated with knightly sports during the Middle Ages. The responsibilities of a herald encompassed making various announcements, which explains the term's application to both literal and metaphorical forms of communication.<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/herald</ref> |
