An incomplete list of the Officers of Arms at the Council of Basel

This list is incomplete as some of the volumes of the sources are for me not available. I believe, however, this list covers most of the occurrences. The highlight in this list is obviously the death of Jean Piemont at Constantinople. This kind of thing probably could happend in the fifteenth century only: in previous century the status of heralds were too obscure to serve at any council; and in next century, in next councils, either the interest of the monarchs and princes to councils were diminished, or the role of heralds had been changed, or both.
At the Council of Constance, heralds are counted along with Spielleute, fahrender Leute which makes a sharp contrast with Jean Piemont who was entrusted to bring the message of the princes to Constantinople. Within some 20 years heralds status changed? Maybe not. Possibly, heralds were similar to musicians of our day, there are violinists who play on the street on one hand, and on the other hand there are those who are members of Wiener Philharmoniker. This again ceased in next century when herald became more an office than profession in many countries.
Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini was a supporter of Antipope Felix V. Is there any relevance between his writing on the heralds and Jean Piemont's murder?
