Norfolk Herald Extraordinary : ウィキペディア英語版 | Norfolk Herald Extraordinary
Norfolk Herald of Arms Extraordinary is an officer of arms in England. As an officer extraordinary, Norfolk is a royal herald, though not a member of the corporation of the College of Arms in London. Beginning in 1539 this officer was a herald to the dukes of Norfolk, though the first holder, John James, was paid a salary by King Henry VIII. Subsequent Norfolk heralds have been officers extraordinary, though the office has not always been filled but rather revived when required. The badge of office, assigned in 1958, is blazoned as ''Two Ostrich Feathers saltirewise each charged with a Gold Chain laid along the quill''. It derives from the ostrich feather badge granted by King Richard II around 1387 as a mark of special favor to Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, Marshal of England. Mowbray was also the first to be styled Earl Marshal. The current Norfolk Herald of Arms Extraordinary is Maj. Sir David Rankin-Hunt, CVO, MBE, TD, KCN, . ==See also==
