Best Answer

A duke held usually more land from his feudal lord, and so was more powerful than a baron, in theory.

What is the pecking order of a Knight to a Duke?

King, Prince, Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, Baron. In Britain it is this: king/queen; duke, marquess, earl, viscount, baron. Princes/princesses don't actually have standing as peers but hold their rank through courtesy which is why sons of the sovereign are made dukes at some point (or earl in the case of poor Edward). Barons and Baronesses are called Lord and Lady because Baron is a French word. In France the equivalents are king; duc, marquis, comte, viscomte, baron. Sons of Ducs are also princes. In Germany they are: emperor, king, grand duke, sovereign prince, duke, prince, margrave, count, baron (freiherr in German). A sovereign prince runs his own country (principality, like Liechtenstein), a regular prince is a son of an emperor, king, grand duke, duke, or sovereign prince. In Spain and Italy its the same with a different language.
