Title for Female Knights

[Klaus]

The real world comes to the rescue with "Dame" (as in Dame Jude Dench, since she was knighted) or "Damosel" (as in "The King's Damosel", the book that served as basis for "Quest for Camelot").

And Don is a title as well.

And a female Don would be a Donna.

Actually, a female Don is Dona - except the "n" should have a tilda ~ over it and I don't know how to do that on here. Pronounced Dohn-ya

Isn't Brienne in Song of Ice and Fire knighted? At least she becomes a member of the kingsguard.

Bye

She is not a knight.

I pondered this before my last campaign, and I now slap myself on the forehead for not thinking of dame.

I used 'Ser' and 'Lady Ser' as the honorifics for knights in the campaign. Mostly bland, I know, but it functioned.

I think Dame sounds very bad ass, and I always use it for female knights. I always think of Dame Judy Dench exactly (my Shakepeare teacher is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and is pen pals with Dame Judy Dench, and he tells us awesome stories about her all the time...that woman is an incredible actress).

Sera, sounds too much like sirrah to me. And that's not a good thing.

Think Sir works on the battlefield and Dame works in court. Sir will garner respect from the soldiers. Dame will show your place among the rulers court.

The only suggestion I've seen which hasn't been listed here is Pira, pronounced Peer-ah which is supposedly a female form of Peer (as in, Peer of the Realm). I don't think it's a real world, but it has a certain tone to it, and little attitude baggage.

I always used Dame in my own games.

When you travel to Germany the correct identification for a group of females is Dammen / DAH-man/

Damen, actually. One M.
