Barons and Baronesses come in two varieties.

Landed Barons/Baronesses

The first variety is the Landed Baron/Baroness. These gentles hold the Barony for the Crown, and are the Royal Presence in that Barony when the Crown cannot be there. They are effectively local management. They may hold courts and reward people with Baronial level awards. The honorific for Baronial personages is, "Your Excellency". Landed Barons and Baronesses wear coronets usually featuring something that identifies the Barony they represent.

Court Barons/Baronesses

The other variety of Baron/Baroness is a Court Baron/Baroness. The giving of Court Baronies is at the sole discretion of the Crown, and it is usually given to a person who has done a lot for the SCA but doesn't neatly fit into the requirements of another award. It is also the custom to reward Landed B&B's with a Court Barony when they step down.

  • Baron Gwynfor Lwyd and Baroness Gwir verch Madog
  • Master Gwynfor Lwyd, Baron Stormhold and Lady gwir verch Madog, Baroness Stormhold
