medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
During the 15th c heralds were no longer required to get in by the trade
entrance. They were diplomats, chroniclers, court judges and masters of
ceremony.
Yes, they were knowledgeable, but I have no idea who this herald was. Any
names?

Out of curiosity, is there any reason to think this herald particularly
knowledgeable? Lower-level functionaries and tradesmen with frequent
business at court in late fifteenth-century Naples were quite capable of
getting things wrong (even on such basic matters as official titles).
