KNIGHT. Baronet carries the honorific:SIR, which is deemed hereditary, and is the lowest rank of the peerage. (Strictly speaking, BARON is the lowest rank of the peerage, since they carry the honorific: LORD and can sit in the House of Lords, but Baronets cannot).

Knight carries the honorific: SIR, but is held by the recipient only. His wife is termed: LADY.

What is the difference in baron and baronet?

1st Answer:Nothing. They are the same person.2nd Answer:Baron and baronet are both titles of nobility, but they are very different.The rank of baron is the lowest of the peerage. This means that barons were allowed to be members of parliament in the House of Lords. For most of the middle ages, the title baron was for a person next in rank below an earl or count.A baronet is below the rank of baron. The title baronet does not qualify a person as a peer, so a person whose highest title is baronet cannot enter the House of Lords. This means that while a baronet is a nobleman, he is also a commoner, and is qualified for the House of Commons, if he is elected. The next lower title that was used in England was that of a knight. There were very few baronets created during the Middle Ages.Please use the links below for more information on baronets and barons.

Does having sir in front of your name mean you've been knighted?

Not necessarily; you might be a Baronet and have inherited your title. Incidentally, when stating the name of a Knight (or Baronet), place NO emphasis on the 'Sir', which is pronounced 'suh'. Sir Charles, for example, sounds like S'Charles.
