List of Latin consorts
The consort of the monarchs of Latium are the spouse of the ruling Emperor or Empress. Consorts have no constitutionally mandated role, status or powers, though are often prevalent in affairs of state due to the influence they have with their spouse. At times, consorts have been given constitutional roles on the Emperor's Council, such as Marsella Atmos as Master of Offices from 2008 to 2017 and Leo, Prince Consort as a Cataptan of the Latin Armed Forces during his tenure as consort, and later as Master of Offices and Count of the Chancery. The current consort is Empress Alazne, who married Emperor Constantine XX in December 2017.
History
Consorts of Latium take their title and role by virtue of being married to the Monarch. The first consort to be given any title was Livia as Empress of the Latins, Emperor Olybrius in the 3rd century AD. Over the centuries, consorts were occasionally afforded further titles and roles, though none were constitutionally recognized. Prior to the Acts of Succession in the 10th century, all consorts were female as succession laws limited succession to male heirs and collaterals only. Since, there have been four male consorts. The first male to serve as consort was Michael of Adrianople – later Michael V. During his tenure as consort, Michael's title was simply "Consort of Latium." Though he would later become co-monarch with his wife Maria Augusta by jure uxoris after the birth of their first child.
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
Likewise, male consorts may be granted any titles or honors that the Sovereign. Often times, no additional titles are granted but male consorts may be give the style of "Imperial Highness". The title of "Prince Consort" has only be bestowed upon two consorts: Michael of Ghant, in 1765; and Leo Claudius, in 1964.
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 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, while male consorts were often not afforded any additional titles.
