4.7 Lord/Lady (Señor/Señora) (Don/Doña)
The English equivalent of this title and rank is most likely to be Laird or Squire. A lord in the English meaning cannot rank below a baron. He might be the equivalent of a baron if the baron is a greater baron and thus ranks as a lord, otherwise a baron is always lower than a lord in the English meaning of the word.
Barons in the continental sense were phased out in England by the 1600s and continental barons are rarely (if ever) equivalent titles to English peers of the rank of baron which are titles of political office/authority equating more to a continental count. A continental baron is typically a title linked primarily to land ownership rather than regional rulership (i.e. lordship/overlordship). 2407:7000:8402:B200:812:D638:EDE3:986A (talk) 08:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
