There are eight heralds that are not kings-at-arms. Their tabards
are of silk, embroidered with the royal arms. They are called York,
Lancaster, Somerset, Richmond, Chester, and Windsor. George the First
created a new herald called Hanover, and another called Gloucester.
The kings-at-arms, heralds, and pursuivants, form the Heralds'
College, by whom all matters connected with the coats of arms of every
gentleman in the kingdom are arranged and determined.
