Yes. The lord of an estate or an aristocrat with that title was almost certainly, in a feudal system, the vassal of a more powerful noble, a prince, or a king. The exact terminology depends on the place and the historical period. The term 'Lord' in England, is often a form

of address or reference to an individual: Lord Chumley, Baron of Wallingford. His wife would simply be 'Lady Chumley'. In the example given above, Lord Chumley might also be informally referred to as 'Wallingford. Generally, when speaking directly to the Baron, the proper mode of address would be 'Your Lordship', just as when speaking to the monarch, the term 'king' or 'queen' is not used. Read the oaths that the highest nobles recite during a coronation in the UK for an echo of their feudal status as vassals of the monarch.
