"Lord" (Latin dominus) was a title given to a feudal nobleman who held land from the king and parcelled out sections of it to his peasants or to lower-ranking knights who might have their own sub-tenants. So ""lord" does not signify any particular rank of nobleman - it could apply to a very lowly knight bachelor, or a baron, or a duke, or an earl, or even to the king himself. It was simply a term of address used of anyone with higher rank and greater authority.
