Baron is a title of honour, often hereditary, and ranks as one of the lower titles in the various nobiliary systems of Europe.
The title of duke and peer (Fr: duc et pair) is one of the highest honors in the French nobility, ranking just after the princes of the blood, which are themselves the direct descendants of the royal blood and are considered peers by birth.rom the 17th century the peerage was conferred only to dukes. In 1789, there were 43 peers of which 6 were princes of the blood. Peerage was normally hereditary in the male line, though the king could extend it to the female line and even to the collateral lines.
