I think I know the answer to this, but am checking to make sure...

I was reading history about Tudor England. It listed a heralds report from
1715 about the death of Arthur  as a primary source.  But how could it be
*primary* if the herald wasn't there in 1502 when Arthur died?

So a primary source is an account of something  that you are eye witness to??
