There has been a Norroy King of Arms since at least the late 13th century, and he takes his title from the word meaning Northern Kingdom or north of the kingdom or northern man. He has jurisdiction north of the River Trent in Wales. He is called Norroy and Ulster King of Arms because since 1943, he has also had jurisdiction over Northern Ireland.
