LukeofHouseTargaryen Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have a question. I know that for the Royal Family, there is a King or Queen and their consort, and their children and siblings are Princes and Princesses. But what if it is, for example, the Lord of House Lannister. Are his children princes and princesses or do they have no title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallowedMarcus Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The Lord of House Lanister is called and is The Warden of the West. His wife is called Lady Lannister. The other are called lordlings of XXXXXX Lannister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sansa tends to be called "Lady Sansa" or "Lady Sansa Stark" but I've never come across an instance of her being called "Lady Stark", which is her mother's title. Sons don't seem to have any official title. They will be called "ser" if they are knights. Sons who aren't knights might be called "Lord [first name]" out of courtesy. I believe we've seen a few instances of "Lord Tyrion" etc, and also "my lord of Lannister" (but not "Lord Lannister", which would be reserved for Tywin, even though people do tend to call him "Lord Tywin").

Guest jasonothegreat Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 In actual British history, a Lord's son would be called "Master". Until they're an adult that is, which then leads to them being called Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sons of lords who aren't knights seem to be given the same treatment as the daughters. Not only there are numerous mentions of "Lord Tyrion", but there's also one instance of a "Lord Robb" before Eddard's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luddagain Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 In British history the great lords would have been Dukes and the next level down Earls and the rest just Lords or landed knights. Obviously Dorn are still called Prince and Princess. Tywin, Ned, and Jon would have been Dukes and their children referred to as Lord/Lady. Tully and Tyrell would probably have been Earls. Stanis and Renley would have been Dukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Eyes Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Tyrell would be a Duke, he's Warden of the South. What about someone like Balon Greyjoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first Duke in England was Duke of Cornwall. And it was a honour restricted to immediate royal family - sons of Edward III - till Richard II´s favourite, Robert de Vere, was made Duke of Ireland, for life only, and did not get to keep the title for life. Until 1337, the greatest lords, and royal family members, were just Earls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
