Name unknown

Pursuivant, 11 Apr. - 29 Sep. 1446. mit mir ain reyttenden botten, zu fuß ein Bartzefant, des Herzogen von Safoy. [Hausleutner, P., "Sebastian Ilsungs Wallfart nach S. Jago und an andere h. Orte in Spanien, im Jahr 1446.", in Schwäbisches Archiv, 2. Bd., 3. St., 1793, pp.325ff., p.326.
Ilsung also mentioned da kam des kungs herold, bald zu mir, vnnd sagt mir vil von dem heir, ..., p.331 and da fuͤert mich der herold fuͤr den kuͤnig .... vnnd der herold liesz mich den ballast sechen ... / Darnach fuͤert mich der herold fuͤr den kuͤniginn ..., p.334. Then what is the distinction between a "reitende Bote", "Poursuivant", and "Herald"? The first one should be in French "chevaucheur"? The contrast between reitend and zu fuß reminds me Genève's two city heralds.
Apart from this there is one interesting passage: Darnach zoch ich haim, wider gen sant Jacob vnd name da vrlaub vnnd schlug mein wappen auff in die kirchenn ..., p.336. He mentions Wappen several times other than here also.
Ilsung's account can be found (though some obscurity is there) in Stetten, Paul von, Lebensbeschreibungen zur Erweckung und Unterhaltung bürgerlicher Tugend, 2. Sammlung, Augsburg: Conrad Heinrich Stage, 1782, pp.23ff. (Google Books. cf. 1. Sammlung, 1778 (Not numbered as such.)) The relevant texsts are: der Herzog [Ludwig von Savoyen] lisz ihn durch zween Ritter dem Gesandten des Dauphins empfehlen, und gab ihm zu seiner Reise einen reitenden Bothen mit seinen Schilde mit, auch hatte er einen Barzefant oder Bedienten, welcher nebenher zu Fusz laufen muszte, ..., p.34; einem Herold, p.38 and einen Herold, p.41.

Johannus Cohennet

Faulcon herald, 24 Jan. 1475. [Chroniques de Yolande, pp.137-138. Faulcon repeatedly appears toward the end of the fifteenth century, 1517 and 1523-5; and finally Johannus Cohennet again appears in 1525 and last mentioned in 1529. If those are the same person, he has at least 54 years of career. Another and even bigger question is there are other Cohennet-Faulcons (see below). One answer is that those Cohennet-Faulcons are Johannus' sons and Faulcon is adopted like a surname which often happens for heralds. Anyway it seems likely that the office of Falcon shared the same fortune with this Cohennet-Faulcons. I made a short discussion.]

Jean Prouanne

Savoye herald (? rank ambiguous), 20 Sept. 1504. [Quinsonas, tome 3, p.93. This Jean (de) Provanna appears several times; see below. If those occurrence refer the same person, what is most perplexing is that Bonivard first called him Savoy, and then Chablais. There are several possibilities: Chablais held more prestigious status; Savoy simply meant that he was a ducal herald; there were two persons: possibly father and son or brothers (note that we are not informed the Chablais Provanna's given name). May be Bonivard's error? Compare 18 Aug. 1512 and 1 Apr. 1519.]

Jean Faucon

— Faulcon

Herald of the Duke, Apr. 1536. Uff dero gütter, so noch nitt gehuldett, hand slachen : Faulcons gü gutter... [Vasella 1935, vol.30, p.105; n.6 says Jean Faucon, herzoglicher Herold most likely based on Gillard 1934 (see below).] Other mentions to any Faulcon are: Feb 1536. Ayme Vincent, der Faulcon diener, gleitt gen [Vasella 1935, vol.29, p.272.] Faulcon von Sant Juliin ist uffgenomen, hatt den eyd gethan und ist jme II^c kronen an golld zu ransson uffgleit, den halben theil uff künffttig Johannis, den andren halben theil uff Michaelis zu bezalen. [Vasella 1935, vol.30, p.308. See Gillard 1934, p.189 where the author says, Faucon de St-Julien was obliged to pay 300 écus but only half (150) was acutually paid and the other half was remit. Also in n114 the author says Jean Faucon was herald of the duke, citing RCG, tome 11 and Levin. The difference of the amount of ransom between German text and French text is because of currency conversion?]

Gaspard Masier/Mazier/Masery/Maserii

herald of arms [of Savoy], 1559.
Painter. D. after 1565. [D&R, p.124.] His appointment is following or in anticipation of the peace of Cateau-Cambrésis, 3 Apr. 1559: Rabut, François, "Obituaire des frères mineurs conventuels de Chambéri de l'ordre de S. François", in MDSS, tome 6, 1862, pp.3ff., p.70. He did the same at Bourg-en-Bress (the event is mentioned in Archives municipales de Bourg-en-Bresse. Administration communale 1368 à 1790. Inventaire-Sommaire de la série BB, p.47, BB37 (Registre.)). Testament de Gaspard Masier, héraut d'armes et syndic, Chambéry, 1566 is mentioned in SOUS-SERIE 1 J (inventry of Archives départementales de Savoie?). There is an obscure mention to one Nicolas Masery, herald of arms of Chambéry and painter, c. 1547 [If he was really a herald, who was his master?]; see also this. Mentioned in MASBAS, 2e sér., tome vi, 1864, p.240. Savoye Masier, hérault, who was the possessor of « Ordonnances, statuz, privillièges, droictz et franchises, que tous temps et d'ancienneté ont acoustumé d'avoir les roys, mareschaux, héraulx et poursuyvans d'armes, » par « Thomas Ysaacq Thoyson d'Or, conseillier de l'Empereur et roy d'armes de la Toyson » was probably identical with this Gaspard Masier. Despite his status French royal court commissioned him several works between 1560-1 to 1566. See the payments in Laborde, Léon, La renaissance des arts à la cour de France ; études sur le seizième siècle, Paris: L. Potier, 1850, p.489, p.492, p.493, p.499, pp.517-518. (Internet Archive.) The same accounts can be found in Laborde, Léon, Les comptes des bâtiments du roi (1528-1571) suivis de documents inédits sur les châteaux royaux et les beaux-arts au 16^e siècle, recueillis et mis en ordre, vol.2, Paris: J. Baur, 1880, p.48 (same as p.489 of his previous work, 1850), p.51 (same as p.492 and 493), p.67 (same as p.499), p.129 (same as p.517). (Internet Archive. Here is the first volume, 1877). Was the Gaspard Masier who appears in Perpéchon, F. et Biver, A., "Inventaire sommaire des Archives hospitalières de la ville de Chambéry", I^re partie, in MDSS, tome 62, 1925, pp.1ff., p.52 identical with this Gaspard Masier? This is his self-portrait.

In p.183 and p.184, the author states the date of appointment 1568, and he succeeded Gaspard Masier. If it is true, when did Alexandre die? 1666 is impossible. Long vacancy, or were there two Alxandre?] There is also this mention: n. Alexandre La Biche, héraut d'armes de S. A., ... 18 June 1567. [ADS IR., IR. 703, p. 221 (of the pdf).]

Maurizio de/di Dalmaz

King of arms and Herald of the Order of the Annunciation, 1798. [Raccolta and Calendario 1827.]
Listed as incumbent in Palmaverde 1820, 1824, Calendario di corte, 1821, Calendario 1825, 1826, 1827, 1828, 1829, 1831, 1832, 1833, 1834, 1835, 1836, 1838, 1839, 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, 1845, 1846, 1847.
His first name Maurizio appears only after 1827. In Calendario 1826, p.111, he was mentioned as Il nobile di Dalmaz, già sotto-brigadiere nella I.a comp. delle guardie del oipo di S. M., ora capitano nelle regie annate. and in Calendario 1827, Di Dalmaz nobile Maurizio, maggiore nelle regie armale. Palmaverde is not helpful as it gives the first name only after 1836 (as far as I got the copy). So possibility rests that there were two Dalmaz before 1826 and after 1827. Armorial et nobiliaire de l'ancien duché de Savoie, tome 2, p.256 which calls him Jean-Maurice de Dalmaz says he had occupied the office since 1793 and still incumbent in 1846.
