is it really a stub? I mean, there's not much more to say! Everything that applies to herald applies to pursuivant, only less so. Doops 00:00, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
The article Earl of Erroll says that that nobleman is one of three who are entitled to private pursuivants. Is there really a third, perhaps in some peerage other than that of Scotland? J S Ayer 03:42, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

As the title of 'Rouge Dragon Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary' is named for the red dragon of Wales, shouldn't a new heading of 'Welsh Pursuivants of Arms in Ordinary' be added to this page and this link placed under it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.52.193 ( talk) 04:17, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Another meaning : pursuivants were minor officials in Elizabethan England who hunted and captured Catholic priests and their protectors for prosecution. GerixAu ( talk) 08:47, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
In Ireland, there were heraldic officers named for each of the 4 provinces. In addition to the Ulster King of Arms (Ulster) there existed the Cork Herald (Munster), the Dublin Herald (Leinster) and the Athlone Pursuivant (Connacht). The latter office was founded in 1552. All became heraldic officers of the Order of St. Patrick. I have now created a page for the Athlone Pursuivant and added it here PeterClarke 11:38, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
