The non-Sovereign partner in a reigning couple.

Definition in Kingdom Law can found in the Glossary

For example, if Lord Joe fights for Lady Mary in a Crown Tournament and wins, he will be recognized as the Sovereign and she as the Consort. The term is not gender-specific; if Lady Mary fought for Lord Joe in Crown Tournament and wins, she would be the Sovereign and he would be the Consort.

Upon successfully completing their reign, the Consort becomes a member of either the Order of the Rose (kingdom consorts) or the Order of the Valerous Estate (principality consorts).

There is an An Tir Consorts e-mail list for past and current kingdom and principality consorts.
