Peter O'Donoghue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Peter Desmond O'Donoghue, MA (Cambridge) is the current Bluemantle Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary at the College of Arms in London.
He was appointed to the office on 17 January 2005,[1] on successful completion of a period of probation. After graduating from Cambridge University, O'Donoghue worked for several years as a genealogist and researcher, including time spent as research assistant to two Windsor Heralds—the late Theobald D Mathew and William George Hunt.
With Clive Cheesman, Rouge Dragon Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary, O'Donoghue is the current co-editor of The Coat of Arms, published by The Heraldry Society. The two officers of arms took over that position in 2005 from the late John Brooke-Little, former Clarenceux King of Arms.[2]
