or Pursuivant, in Heraldry, the lowest order of officers at arms.—They are properly attendants on the heralds when they marshal public ceremonies. Of these in England there were formerly many; but at present there are only four, viz. blue-mantle, rouge-crofs, rouge-dragon, and port-cullice. In Scotland there is only one king at arms, who is styled Lyon; and has under him no less than five heralds, as many pursuivants, and a great many messengers at arms. See Lyon.
