Lord

Baintighearna Caoimhe: /* Alternate titles */

The term '''Lord''' is an [[honorific]] used to indicate that a man or his father has [[rank]]. "Lord" originally referred to the [[master]] of a household. In modern English, it is used for a [[marquis]], [[earl]], [[count]], [[viscount]], [[baron]] or [[baronet]] or the son of [[duke]] or [[marquis]]. It came to be extended to non-[[peer]]age ranks, eg. Lord [[Mayor]] or Lord [[Chamberlain]], and [[church]] ranks, eg. [[Bishop]] of Upper Smithbury, Lord Clancy.

For landed [[peer]]s, it is used with the name of their estate, not their first name. Hence, you could refer to the Earl of Cumnor as Lord Cumnor.

== A Lord in the SCA==
'''Lord''' is the honorific given in the [[SCA]] to male holders of an [[Award of Arms]]. Any male participants are entitled to be called [[mlord_and_mlady|m'lord]] as a polite form of address but this implies no specific [[rank]].

Other ranks tend to use different [[title|honorifics]], eg. Your Excellency for [[baron]]s.

Lady

Baintighearna Caoimhe: /* Alternate titles */

The term '''Lady''' is used as an honorific for woman to indicate that they or their close relative has [[rank]], often being a [[peer]]. The word originally referred to the [[mistress]] of a household. In modern [[England]], a woman is called a Lady if she is a [[marchioness]], [[countess]], [[viscountess]], [[baroness]] or [[baronetess]], if their husband is a [[knight]], [[baron]] or [[baronet]] or if their father is a [[duke]], [[marquis]] or [[earl]]. It can also be used for the
wife of the younger son of a marquis or earl.

Hence, you could refer to the Baroness of Outerkeep, Lady Catherine or the wife of Earl Snowdon can be referred to as Lady Snowdon.

== A Lady of the SCA ==

In the [[SCA]], it is the [[title]] given to a woman who has been given an [[Award of Arms]]. It is also commonplace to refer to any woman at an SCA [[event]] as "my lady" or "[[mlord_and_mlady|m'lady]]" but that implies no specific rank.
