The baron lived in a large castle.

.

The old baron was very rich.

.

The baron invited the count to a party.

The rank sits high in an 1887-1930 corpus because the early Esperanto bookshelf leaned hard on translated European novels, where barons are thick on the ground. Useful for reading the classics; you will not often need it at the shops.
