A '''consort''' in musical terms, was a small instrumental - and sometimes vocal – musical ensemble that flourished in England before about 1700. It can also be extended to the music itself. The word was borrowed from the [[Italian]] “concerto”, which at that time had much the same meaning.

In other contexts, a consort is a companion or marriage partner. The husband or wife of a monarch or aristocrat is sometimes known as a consort. For example, Prince Philip, the [[Duke of Edinburgh]], is a '''prince consort''', as the husband of the [[British]] Queen [[Elizabeth II]].
