Baronesses are the wives of barons (although they can be single, divorced or widowed).
The Two Baronesses was created in 1848.
In medieval Europe, there were different types of nobles, such as monarchs (kings and queens), dukes and duchesses, earls and countesses, barons and baronesses, knights, and lords/ladies. These titles represented varying levels of social status, power, and land ownership within the feudal system.
A female member of the House of Lords is called a "Baroness." This title is typically conferred upon women who hold a life peerage or are hereditary peers. Baronesses can be appointed for their expertise and contributions to society, and they participate in legislative discussions and decisions within the House of Lords.
A baroness is a female member of the aristocracy, typically holding the title of "baron" in her own right or as the wife of a baron. The title is part of the British peerage system and can be hereditary or life peerage, granted for contributions to society. Baronesses often have the honorific "The Right Honourable" if they are members of the House of Lords.
A baroness is a specific title of nobility, typically ranking below a countess and above a viscountess, while "Lady" is a more general term that can refer to women of noble birth or rank, including baronesses. In some contexts, a baroness may be addressed as "Lady," but not all ladies hold noble titles like baroness. Thus, while there is overlap, they are not synonymous.

Generally, no. Very few did and books were hard to come by. The printing press wasn't invented until 1448 so books were not something people to go out and buy. The church told the bible through stories, plays, and the stain glass windows in the church walls. In court cases people verbally told the judge what was the problem ( that is why we have testimony in cases today), and stories like Robin Hood were oral poems so people could remember the tale and retell it over and over. Some nobility could read and the priests did read as well as wrote or copied books.
Ordinarily, there is no connection between Orthodox ( if such a thing exists) Witchcraft or Wicca, and Tarot cards, though both are occult. I have heard of (gypsy Witch which was a brand of conventional playing cards with marked overprints, not strictly speaking tarot cards. Etymologically, the term is confusing as Rom ( Gypsies) doe not officially practice witchcraft and do not use Wiccan terms or insignia, except possibly by accident, they do practice palmistry- other occult sciences- such as Tarot, but not strictly speaking Wicca. there is no such title as (gypsy Witch) there are Gypsy Queens, lesser nobility- maybe countesses and baronesses on the lower end, but no Gypsy witch or anything akin to a Witch Doctor or Medicine Man as some North American tribes called their occult practitioners. Many Gypsies are Italian and thus nominally Roman Catholic, so they don:t want bad vibes from the Churchmen.
King, Prince, Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, Baron. In Britain it is this: king/queen; duke, marquess, earl, viscount, baron. Princes/princesses don't actually have standing as peers but hold their rank through courtesy which is why sons of the sovereign are made dukes at some point (or earl in the case of poor Edward). Barons and Baronesses are called Lord and Lady because Baron is a French word. In France the equivalents are king; duc, marquis, comte, viscomte, baron. Sons of Ducs are also princes. In Germany they are: emperor, king, grand duke, sovereign prince, duke, prince, margrave, count, baron (freiherr in German). A sovereign prince runs his own country (principality, like Liechtenstein), a regular prince is a son of an emperor, king, grand duke, duke, or sovereign prince. In Spain and Italy its the same with a different language.
Snake Eye's face was badly damaged during a rescue mission early in his G.I. Joe career. It was literally caught on fire while he carried an unconscious Scarlett from a fiery helicopter. This was the same incident from which he damaged his vocal cords. Snake Eyes decided to continue on with the mission, rather then go to a hospital for treatment, thus giving up any chance at the time to save his vocal cords or face. It was often implied that a single look at the damaged face of Snake Eyes could make one sick in an instant. Several years into the Marvel run, modern science was ready to try and repair his scarred and damaged face, so he went in for surgery. The result was a classic iconic Prince Adam-ish face, but it only lasted for two issues. Snake Eyes was captured while still in sedation and tortured by the Baronesses and her minions the "Paine Brothers". During his escape, his face was again damaged and he returned to wearing a mask. During the very end of the Marvel run, Snake Eyes started appearing without his iconic mask; a sign that he had the lesser damage done to his face resolved. Why do we still see him appearing in his mask in toys, comics, and cartoons? The mysterious, silent, almost super-human ability, and unwavering self-sacrafice of the man is what made him so powerful a character in the classic marvel series, and every form of media since has been trying to recapture that popularity.
Her Imperial Highness, Alexandra Romanov, Nee Alicia Von Hess (like the gasoline). Stacy"s mother was German,not a good thing when you are making war with the Central powers (Germany, mainly) In War I.) as near as I can figure she (The empress Alexandra ) does not appear in the Anastasia cartoon even in a cameo role though she might be (just a picture) in family portraits. There is some evidence that the real Czarina (which was her title, Anastasia was merely a Czarevna or crown princess also ranking as a Grand Duchess) was possibly an alcoholic and may have been addicted to pain-killing drugs as she walked with a limp late in the war period- it is not known how she got the limp. Her lady in Waiting One of the baronesses , acquired the limp as a result of a railroad accident, she was treated by Rasputin, that was Annas Wybarova, who may have introduced the Empress to her(Faith?? Healer) Onthe other hand Both Alexandra and the Dowager Empress appear in the Amy Irving Mini series and one gets to know both of these Royal women as characters, In effect there are Three Queens in action in the Amy Irving mini=series, Alexandra, The Dowager empress Marie, and the title character. The Four sisters are shown in a sort of cameo at a Kremlin dance party in the beginning where they are formally announced. Tatiana is corectly pronounced as ( Ta=Shawn=Ah) by the way. OTMA! In Russia they pronounce Tatiana , Tat'yana, it's the accent they have that make it sound there is a s in there but if you listen carefully there is not one. Also Alexandra was really Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova (The girls had an a at the end of the last name) Her birth given name was not Alicia it was Victoria Alix Helena Louise Beatrice, but she was called Alix, her mother even said that she spelt it Alix so the Germans wouldn't mess her name up like they did to Alexandra's mothers name which was Alice.
