A baroness was the wife of a baron. A baron was at the lowest level of the peerage, the titled nobility.

During battles, the baroness was normally not involved; as a noble woman, she would have been protected, and this meant that if there was an expectation a battle would be fought, she would be taken elsewhere.

Sometimes, if the battle was for a castle that the baroness happened to be in, she would take command of the defense. Many noble women were educated specifically for this purpose, because it happened enough to be of concern.

There is a medieval illustration below, showing a woman defending her castle. I have no way of knowing whether she was a baroness, but she might have been. There is also a link to an illustration showing a woman, in a gown, fighting with a sword from horseback.
