A '''Baronet''' is ''not'' a [[baron]] or a [[baroness]] or the lands they hold. Instead it is a slightly lower [[England|British]] [[rank]] that lies between baron and [[knight]] on the [[Order of Precedence]]. Only the [[Knights of the Garter]] are above it. It is the lowest [[hereditary]] [[order]].

It is also just outside of the [[SCA]] [[period]] as it was started by [[James I]] in 1611. However, it was sometimes used to refer to lesser barons (need confirmation!).
