An officer whose duty it is to direct the heralds, preside at

kings-of-arms in England viz. Garter, Clarencieux, and Norroy; one in
Scotland viz. Lyon; and one in Ireland, called Ulster.
Bath King-of-Arms
is no member of the college, but takes precedence next after
Garter. The office was created in 1725 for the service of the Order of
the Bath. (See Heralds.)
