Yes I studied medieval history this year, but I don't know the answer to this, and more importantly I don't know where to look it up.

What do you call an earl's wife?

Count. Countess.
Duke. Duchess.
Lord. Lady.
Thegn. Lady.
Marquis. Marchioness.

Earl. ? (is it Lady?)

I don't suppose any of you have any ideas?

ETA: thanks to everyone who told me it was a countess, both in comments here and over the phone *grin*

Surprisingly enough, you would also call her a Countess.

Don't ask why I know, I have no clue myself.

Hope that helps!
