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!
