The kings-at-arms are the protagonists of a palatine office that has existed for more than seven centuries, as well as the continuators of the Heralds that appeared in the 12th century in Western Europe. In turn, in Spain they not only stand out for their links to the certificates of nobility and supervision of the noble arms, but also for carrying out functions related to the ceremonial of the Royal Household, both as assistants in the acts and in the organisation of these. They are also recognised as being linked to the publication of laws of a royal nature, as they are the "Voice of the King", without which the law is not considered applicable. In this way, they became the predecessors of today's chiefs of protocol. This is a brief account of their history.
