There are all sorts of barons, feudal barons, lairds, baronets, baronies, baronages, etc. Some are quite bogus and can be bought online from rather dubious people who will give you a very colorful and seemingly impressive document attesting to the fact that you have in fact been successfully separated from your money. Some are only semi-bogus and granted by deposed monarchs, claimants to non-existant thrones, and such or their descendants (sometimes very, very distant descendants) of various sorts or those close to them.
