There was no postal service in medieval times and since the vast majority of people could not read or write it was only the aristocracy, royalty and the Church who sent messages.

These were delivered by hand, by messengers appointed for the task because of their loyalty and reliability; the kings of England had an organised system of royal messengers who changed horses at various designated places - much like the Pony Express of later times.

In times of war messengers would be provided with a mounted escort, since all messages were in straightforward Latin and could be read by any educated person if captured.

Heralds were not generally involved in message delivery - their role was concerned with heraldry (hence their title)
