Ah, yeah, I could see that. Call them Bedded Barons/Baronesses, if you'd like. Honestly, it seems likely a polygamous sovereign would grant titles to his/her paramours anyway, so this just a polygamous monarchy. A variant would be where the paramours are all somewhere in the line of inheritance of the crown, and are the only ones - offspring need not apply.
