What is a female knight called?

Dame. Like Dame Judi Dench.

lady….

Lady matches Lord, not knighthood.

@EmpressPixie : ohhh. How come dame isn’t used as much? I always hear Sir Richard Branson, but I don’t hear Dame Judy Dench.

@EmpressPixie has got it.

The wife of a knight is a Lady; a female knight is a dame. Examples: Dame Judi Dench was knighted and Heather Mills was Lady McCartney.

@troubleinharlem: She gets called that a lot in movie billing these days. I love hearing it too because I think she’s a great actress and, honestly, I just enjoy the way it rolls off the tongue.

@EmpressPixie She’s got it.

@EmpressPixie ; if you get divorced… does the name stay?

a ‘kday’

That Judi Dench is quite a Dame.

A Knunt.

i am so, so very sorry. i can’t help it sometimes.

Gladys, of course!

@sliceswiththings Oh – you’re a pip!

(@sliceswiththings and @janbb: That right there is one of the main reasons why I Lurve Fluther! Thanks for the LOL4rl!)

Knightie?

Anytime, @hearkat :) I wonder how many jellies have no idea what we’re talking about.

@sliceswiththings Indeedy.

@janbb and @sliceswiththings Dame Edna?

Knightley? .. like Kiera?

Dame is right.

A peasants worst nightmare if they are impudent and the Dame is PMS-ing. referring to the smiting with swords and other pointy stuff
