bboy_mn:
I will accept that the Baron could be a Slytherin. When I say that I;m
referring to a member of the Slytherin family, not the house, although
he could have been a member of the house too, but that's not the key
point. But I don't think he would be older that Salazar; personally I
would say, if he is a member of the family, he is many generations
younger that Salazar.

Also, is the royal title 'Baron', a title of English nobility? I
always thought 'Baron' was a German title of nobility; as in Baron 
Manfred von Richthofen, 'The Red Baron', a very successful World War I
fighter pilot.

Just a thought.
