A barony is within a county or duchy. I suppose it would be possible for a barony not to be so, but I have never heard of it.
Whether a Duchy or a Barony is "better" depends on the context and the specific attributes associated with each title. A Duchy typically represents a larger territory and higher rank within the feudal hierarchy, often granting more power and resources. In contrast, a Barony is smaller and may have less influence but can offer a more manageable domain. Ultimately, the preference for one over the other may hinge on individual goals, such as political power versus personal governance.
Barony of Sax-Misox ended in 1799.
There are many possible subdivisions of a kingdom. A duchy would be ruled by a duke, and is typically the largest. A march or mark would be ruled by a marquess/marquis/markgraf, and is typically located on the border of the kingdom. A county is ruled by a count, and a barony by a baron.
Duchy of Savoy ended in 1713.
United Baltic Duchy ended in 1918.
