Pursuivants are heraldic officers in the United Kingdom, primarily responsible for assisting in the work of the College of Arms. They are often seen as junior members of the heraldic hierarchy, below heralds and above pursuivant in rank. Their duties include attending ceremonial events, helping with the creation of coats of arms, and maintaining records of heraldic achievements. These officers typically wear distinctive uniforms that include a tabard, which displays their specific heraldic insignia. Pursuivants play a vital role in preserving the traditions of heraldry and ensuring that the history and significance of coats of arms are respected and understood.
