Definition :

Kings-at-Arms. The principal herald of England was of old designated king of the heralds, a title which seems to have been exchanged for king-at-arms about the reign of Henry IV. The kings-at-arms at present existing in England are three: Garter, Clarencieux, and Norroy, besides Bath, who is not a member of the college. Scotland is placed under an officer called Lyon King-at-Arms, and Ireland is the province of one named Ulster. See HERALD.
