Duchess

A Duchess is the female equivalent of a duke, either by marriage to a duke (Duchess Consort) or as a ruling noblewoman in her own right (Duchess Regnant). A duchess holds significant social and political influence within her duchy.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Regional Governance: Like a duke, a duchess may govern a duchy, overseeing its administration, justice, and economic affairs. If she is a duchess in her own right, she holds all the powers and responsibilities of her title independently.
Public Duties: A duchess often participates in public and charitable activities, supporting her duchy’s cultural and social development.
Supportive Role: If married to a duke, a duchess may assist in managing the duchy’s affairs and represent the ducal family at official events and ceremonies.
