Heralds today have no particular role outside of ceremonial duties. However, in Medieval times they were very important. They served as diplomats, carrying messages to other countries, particularly to enemy armies in times of war, as town criers, announcing proclamations and messages throughout the towns, villages and cities, as observers in a battle, deciding who won if it was unclear, and also as a handy Heraldic Encyclopedia, identifying both living knights (whether enemy for targeting or friendly for identification) and the dead knights to get their identities by their heraldry (the insignia on their surcoats). This was a very handy skill because everyone looks the same in armour, and so their coats of arms were the only way of identifying people.

William of Normandy invaded England in 1066. Known as the Battle of Hastings by the Normans, it was referred to by the English as the Battle of Senlac. King Harold had just defeated an attack from Herald Hardratta of Denmark. King Harold's brother, Tostig had fought on the side of the enemy against England, hoping to rule in his brother's place. The invaders were defeated & King Harold then took his troops south to Hastings to meet the attack of William. At first, the battle went against The Norman invaders. However, after 3 days of hard fighting, King Harold was killed & William won the Battle.Like any enemy, William was feared and dnot welcome on English soil. Despite this, he was a fair and capable ruler who employed justice for the people of England.
