A Bretonnian baron is a noble of Bretonnia who holds land directly from the king but is subordinate in formal precedence to a duke in the strict Bretonnian feudal order. They are subject to royal law and royal command but not to the laws or commands of any other noble, including the dukes.[1a]
Thus, a barony is legally independent of the dukedom in which it is located. Of course, there are not many barons in Bretonnia. Note that Bretonnian nobles who hold land from King Louen Leoncoeur in his capacity as the Duke of Couronne are not barons, but Bretonnian lords; only those who hold land from him in his legal capacity as Royarch of Bretonnia have that status.[1a]
