Line 163: Line 163:


* concubinage ''(a person who is legally entitled to having "unofficial spouses" and those "unofficial spouses"; think an emperor and his many concubines)''
* concubinage ''(a person who is legally entitled to having "unofficial spouses" and those "unofficial spouses"; think an emperor and his many concubines)''
* paramours: ''(a married person and their extramarital lover; think a married man and his mistress)''
* paramours ''(a married person and their extramarital lover; think a married man and his mistress)''


Please note that concubinage is a much more "official" relationship than that between paramours, which is generally seen as strictly illicit; historical concubines have often held positions of power within their lovers' households due to the very fact they held concubine status. If a character is described as an "official mistress", it is generally fine to understand that to be a case of concubinage. Ask if on doubt.
