Barons and baronesses generally hold title to only a single freehold. Many barons resent their lords, consider the counts immideatly above them as greedy, and covet their liege's greater power and lands. Barons and baronesses cling to power tenaciously. Since they are closer to their followers than many other nobles of higher rank, they usually enjoy the support of their vassals. Baronies usually include three or four knights who owe direct fealty to their lord. Some barons also host a rumber of knights-errant who hold no other loyalties.
Barons and baronesses are addressed as "Lord" or "Lady."
Baronial Treasures: Barons and baronesses have only their own hearths and their knightly weapons.
