Etymology

The word 'baron' originated in the Old French 'baron', meaning 'free warrior' or 'man'. It entered the English language around the 12th century, originally referring to a member of the lowest rank of the nobility. Over time, the term evolved to also denote a wealthy businessman or landowner. The historical role of barons in feudal society was significant, as they held land directly from the king and played a crucial role in the governance of local areas.
