Howard Pursuivant of Arms Extraordinary is an officer of arms extraordinary in England. As such, Howard is a royal herald, but is not a member of the College of Arms in London. The present office was created in November 1992 by the Earl Marshal, who was also the Duke of Norfolk. The name of the office is taken from the barony of Howard of Glossop (created in 1869), to which the 17th Duke inherited in 1972, from his father the 3rd Baron. The Duke himself have never used the title, since his mother's barony of Beaumont takes precedence. The badge of office was assigned in 1992: ''A cross-crosslet fitchy argent enclosed within a pair of wings displayed and reflexed gold.'' The crosslet is taken from the Howard's Arms and crest. Whilst the wings alluded to one of the Howard's crest and also the swiftness of the pursuivant as a messenger.〔 There have only been one appointment to this office since its creation. ==Office holder== * 1992 - 1998: John Henry Bruce Bedells〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard Pursuivant Extraordinary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
