Types of Lords

  • Lord, under the feudal system of the Seven Kingdoms, is a hereditary title of nobility, that is expressed through the bonds of vassalage which connect the owners of various strongholds. All lords have vassals, the vassals can have knights, and the feudalism chain continues down to the peasants. In Westeros there are many lords, some bigger and some smaller, some sworn to others, but still all with the same title - save for the Lords of Sunspear, who still hold the title of "Prince."
  • Lord Paramount, a title held by various Great House of the Seven Kingdoms, holding dominion over one of the nine regions of the seven kingdoms, second only to the king. The title has been used since the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms in the War of Conquest.
  • Lord Commander, a rank used in various institutions in the Seven Kingdoms, including the Kingsguard and the Night's Watch. Indicating a position of authority and leadership, more often than not the holder of the title is of noble birth, or at the very least a knight.r' due to his lack of noble birth.
