Announced or proclaimed publicly, often signaling the arrival or importance of something.
From Middle English and Old French 'heraut,' an officer who made official announcements; the '-ed' ending marks past tense, showing that someone acted as a herald by announcing something.
Medieval heralds were like the news anchors of their time—they traveled between kingdoms delivering official messages, and people would gather to hear them because they brought important information and drama.
