Feudal barons only exist in Scotland in the UK and retain a dignity preserved by the Abolition of Feudal Tenure, etc (Scotland) Act 2000. A feudal barony is the only title of nobility legally assignable and able to be legally alienated from the bloodline of its previous possessor. Historically, feudal barons were the first nobles, the King's men, who held land directly from the Crown and were granted a legal jurisdiction over their territory, the barony. Now, the dignity of a feudal baron is a personal title and carries with it no special powers beyond the title of 'baron', certain qualities and precedence, and a few heraldic privileges.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
