In the Middle Ages, powerful nobles who owned vast tracts of land were known as feudal lords or barons. They held significant authority over their territories, managed estates, and provided protection to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. This hierarchical system was central to feudalism, where land ownership determined wealth and power. Prominent examples include the dukes, earls, and counts, who played crucial roles in the political and social structure of medieval Europe.
