Anybody know anything about titles? Like King, Queen, Duke , that sort of title. Here's the story. My first book, (see below) there's an Empress. Now that I'm writing the sequel, well, everyone's life has changed a little. The Empress has married.. she married a Duke. I want to call him Prince Consort, but I'm not sure that's the right title, like if she was just a Queen. They had a daughter - is she a princess??

Anybody who knows the answer, I will be most grateful for your help. (Maybe Medievalist?)

At that level, the titles are pretty much anything you care to make up.

IMHO, your Empress's hubby would probably be the Imperial Consort. Offspring would be Imperial Princes and Imperial Princesses.

However, offspring would quickly acquire titles, including nominal crowns!

Thank you :) I like that - Imperial Consort. Imperial Princess sounds a bit much though - she's only a baby. Maybe I'll use it once, just when I introduce the character, then cut it down to just Princess.
