In [[England]] the first '''King of Arms''' was recorded in the [[13th century]], when, in one of the Harlean documents (Cl.54) one Peter (possiby ''de Horbury'') is mentioned as "king of Arms beyond the Trent" (an English river), collecting a debt of 20 silver marks around 1276CE.

Later the area north of the Trent was to become one of the 2 recognised English [[heraldic]] provinces, whose king was generally titled as '''''Norroy''''' (although for periods the office appears to have been executed by the '''March''' and '''Lancaster''' Kings of Arms.<br>
The other English province (England south of the Trent) became the purview of '''''Clarenceux''''' King of Arms, whose first known incumbent is Andrew, from 1314CE.

A century later the senior-most King was created (and created specifically to be senior-most, as well as to cater to a new heraldic Order) -- '''Garter''' King, first incumbent William Bruges, formerly Guyenne King.

Other Kings within the English college were appointed to cater to new geographical possessions (some of them Heralds promoted):
* '''Guyenne''' and '''Aquitaine''' (the titles were never both filled, and alternate according to an unknown rule) -- the English holdings in SW [[France]]. ''Ca.''1306 to 1475, not continuously.
* '''Ireland''' -- Between ''ca.''1370 and ''ca.''1483; later revived as '''Ulster''', 1552 to 1558, then severed from the English [[College of Arms|College]].
* '''March''' -- apparently the [[Wales|Welsh]] and [[Scotland|Scots]] broder areas. 1384 (March Herald (a private, not a royal herald) promoted to King) to 1481, but few incumbents known in records.
* '''Lancaster''' --- In 1386 he was the private herald to the Duke of Lancaster but was styled a King; became a [[Royal]] herald and King in ''ca.''1399 reverted to status of a herald after 1450; undertook the duties of '''Norroy'''.
* '''Anjou''' -- Records only show a brief office, from 1425 to 1436, with 2 incumbents, after which the office dies.

There were also a number of other short-lived Kings: '''Falcon''' from ''ca.''1359 to 1412; '''Leicester''', 1399-1419, after which reverted to the rank of herald; '''Agincourt''', 1415-1419, then disappears; '''Gloucester''' 1483-4; '''Richmond''', a herald, who gained Kingly rank briefly in 1485 before the incumbent(Roger Malchado) was made '''Norroy''' King.
There are also single references to Normandy, Mascham and Vaillant Kings, to a King of Arms to the Black Prince, and to 6 other individuals named as Kings without titles being given.

Finally, <u>one</u> source (''BM Cotton ms.'') refers to one Bond as a 'king of arms' in 1225CE, but no title of offcie is cited and Mr.Bond is otherwise unknown. In all the circumstances most authorities treat this is a figment of fiction intended to back-date the office of King and enhance its antiquity.
