Title Reference Guide

Viscount
: Deputy to the Earl who governed territories in place of the Earl. Usually given to second sons and below of Earl families.
Baron
: Usually refers to minor lords governing their own territories. In England, it also referred to lords who received fiefs directly from the King. (From Baron onward, titles cannot be inherited - life peerage; higher ranks can inherit as hereditary peerage)
Knight
: Knights also have their own small territories and have the right to receive crops as taxes. In fantasy, it's usually described as receiving monthly wages from lords, which isn't unreasonable, but knights can be seen as minor lords except for fighting on the front lines.
