Interesting Facts

Baron: Responsible for all the land in the county. Think of the county as being divided up into a relatively small number of large plantations, each run by a baron. A less-flattering but more formal version of the title is tenant-in-chief. In England, in theory, the King originally owned all the land and the barons were granted the right to "work" one of the plantations by the whim of the King. All the titles above that of Baron effectively form "the Administration". The Baron probably leases much of his land to his sub-tenants, and is responsible for providing a fixed number of knights to "the Administration" (it's as if he paid his taxes in combat soldiery). If capable, he would command his own men (that is, serve as an officer). By the end of the Hundred years war, many Barons in England effectively had their own small standing armies and were able to challenge the authority of the King. A county would typically contain from 5 to 20 baronies.
