List of Latin consorts
The consort of the monarchs of Latium are the spouse of the ruling Emperor. Conosrts do not have a constituionally mandadted role simply by virtue of marriage to the Emperor; however, the granting of additional honors and titles to the Empress consort by her husband can result in the Empress weilding 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, such as when Empress Marsella served as Master of Offices from 2008 to 2016. The current consort is Empress Alazne, who married Emperor Constantine XX in December 2017; she was created August in September 2018.
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
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.
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.
