Latest revision as of 19:27, 5 January 2023

The non-Sovereign partner in a reigning couple.

Typically, there is little need to specify which of a royal couple is the Sovereign and which is the Consort; they rule together as a unit. There are a few additional duties for the Sovereign and these are defined in Kingdom Law (generally, in articles concerning Crown Lists and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess).

Upon successfully completing their reign, the Consort becomes a member of either the Order of the Rose (kingdom consorts) or the Order of the Valorous Estate (principality consorts).

-For example, if Lord Joe fights for Lady Mary in a Crown Tournament and wins, he will be recognized as the Sovereign and she as the Consort. The term is ''not'' gender-specific; if Lady Mary fought for Lord Joe in Crown Tournament and wins, she would be the Sovereign and he would be the Consort.
