Abstract
The consort is the companion to the governor, a position usually filled by the governor's wife (or more recently the governor's husband), daughter or sister. This is not an official role and it comes with no job description, nor salary. Young or old, with or without children, noble or commoner, all consorts found themselves supporting spouse and family, sovereign, empire or nation. These brief biographies will add to our understanding of the changing roles filled by these women (and one man) over more than two hundred years.
