Lady



Lady was a title bestowed upon women who were in the upper eschelons of nobility during the time of the Faufreluches.

While the title was used for noble-born women, at times, women of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood would take the title of Lady when they were bequeathed to Great Houses, either as concubines or as wives.

The title appeared to fall into disuse during the period of obscurity immediately after the death of Leto Atreides II. However, some 1500 years after Leto's death, during the time the Lost Ones were returning from The Scattering, the title came back into favour as Great Houses once again began to emerge as viable entities in the known universe.
