Baron is a title of honour, often hereditary, and ranks as one of the lower titles in the various nobiliary systems of Europe.
As the term robber baron came into common usage, it was often applied to a small group of men. Notable examples were: 1  Cornelius Vanderbilt, owner of steamship lines and railroads.2  Andrew Carnegie, steel manufacturer.he term itself dated back centuries, and was originally applied to noblemen in the Middle Ages who functioned as feudal warlords and were literally ârobber barons.â. In the 1870s the term began to be used to describe business tycoons, and the usage persisted throughout the rest of the 19th century.
