Burke's Peerage

Baron

It should be noted also that:

In Scotland, a Baron is called a Lord of Parliament

There are five categories of British peerage and they have a hierarchy themselves:

1. Peerage of England

2. Peerage of Scotland

3. Peerage of Ireland

4. Peerage of Great Britain

5. Peerage of United Kingdom

Also peerages are ranked based on creation date.

Therefore a Baron of the United Kingdom is a lower grade than a Baron of England, and the lower of two Baronies of the United Kingdom would be the one created most recently.

Hope that edit helps!

Yes. Hamling is the feudal Baron of Tamworth, in Staffordshire. This feudal Barony is noted in I J Sanders, English Baronies-A Study of Their Origin and Descent 1086-1327. Conveyance of feudal baronies are completed through private treaty as with property. Feudal titles should not be understood as peerage. This is an entirely different matter. Peerage can only be conveyed by the monarch, at one time making up the House of Lords. Heriditary Lords are now a miniorty in the house. Feudal titles bear few perks aside from keeping an important part of English history and personal value.
