herald-at-arms

The Imperial Guard cavalry led the procession, followed by the herald-at-arms and then the carriages.

Founded in 1826 by Irish genealogist John Burke, the publication was continued by his son, Sir Bernard Burke (Herald-at-Arms in the College of Arms).

Hence the applause was by no means general when the herald-at-arms proclaimed, after a flourish of trumpets, the names and styles of the knights who were prepared, for the honor of their country and for the love of their ladies, to hold the field against all who might do them the favor to run a course with them.
