What is a duke and dame?

Answered by Brandon Riddell

A Duke and Dame are titles that are traditionally used to refer to a high-ranking nobleman and noblewoman, respectively. These titles are usually bestowed upon individuals by a monarch or other ruling authority as a mark of honor and prestige. The terms “Duke” and “Dame” are derived from the Latin words “dux” and “domina,” which mean “leader” and “lady” respectively.
