Noble Friends, Especially Heralds,
2 March 1484 is the incorporation date of Britain's College of Arms. The
College was founded by Richard III, and reincorporated in 1555 by Mary I
and Philip of Spain. The College of Arms continues to be the chief source
of heraldic authority for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The story of the College of Arms can be found here:

But wait, wait! There's more! Scotland has its own official office of
heraldry, The Court of the Lord Lyon:

Yours Aye,
Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge 🦆
