The consort of the Latin emperor is the spouse of the ruling emperor. Consorts have a limited constitutionally mandated role simply by virtue of marriage to the Emperor, along with the granting of additional honors and titles to the Empress consort by her husband. The empress consort manages her own court through the Court of Augusta, and along with other honors bestowed to her, often results in the Empress wielding considerable power beyond that of the influence of her marriage. Most often this power comes from the creation of the Empress as Augusta; however, an empress may, at times, be appointed to formal positions ahead of state institutions. The current consort is Empress Stephania, who became consort upon the elevation of her husband Jacobus VI Claudius as emperor on 29 July 1993 – she was created Augusta on 9 August 2002. The current junior empress is Empress Amelia, who became empress upon the elevation of her husband Constantine XX Claudius to junior emperor.
History
Consorts of Latium take their title and role by virtue of being married to the Monarch. The first recognized empress was Antonia, the second wife of Emperor Augustus. Over the centuries, consorts were occasionally afforded further titles and roles. All consorts in Latium are female, as thus far any instance of female inheritance of the Latin throne has resulted in the Empress regnant's spouse earning the status of emperor by right of his wife. This occurred for the first time with the ascension of Maria I Claudia in 1032, and most recently in 1956 with the marriage of Diana I Anicia to Leo Claudius, who became Leo X Claudius.
Titles
Theoretically, a monarch may grant any titles and honors to their spouse. Consorts may also be allowed to retain any native titles they held prior to their marriage or enthronement, depending on the national or succession laws of their home nation. The most common titles for a modern consort are:
- Latin Empress
- Augusta
Historically, the husband of an empress regnant does not become a consort. Instead, the husband of the empress regnant is elevated to co-emperor and rules along side the empress. Elevation of the empress's husband to emperor can happen at any point after marriage, but in recent history most often occurs following the birth of an heir. Augusta remains a unique title, and one not singularly granted to the wife of the emperor, and can be granted to any female of the imperial house.
Additional titles were granted historically, such as Queen of Keld, which was in a personal union with the Latin crown from 1410 to 1668. The royal title of Keld remained a de jure pretender title from 1668 to 1842, when the de jure claim entered a personal union with the Ghantish crown, which had previously seized Keld in 1668. From 1554 to 1763, the empress consort was also Queen of Garza, by virtue of the personal union between the Latin and Garzan crowns. During the personal unions with Keld and later Garza, the husband of an empress regnant was elevated to co-ruler and held the title of King of Keld or King of Garza, by right of his wife. From 1680 until 1803, the Latin consort was also consort of Sydalon due to personal union between the realms. Female consorts held the additional title of Queen of Sydalon, along with any other dignities associated with the Crown. Unlike the Kelder and Garzan personal unions, the husband of the empress was not afforded any additional title simply by virtue of marriage. However, husbands of the Queen of Sydalon during the Latin personal union period were often granted lands and titles.
