I was wondering if any of the more British people
could enlighten me on if a 'Baron' would be of a royal
bloodline or not?  We have The Bloody Baron, the
bloody being from his mysterious death, but is the
title of Baron ONLY a royalty thing?

Also, we have Sir Nearly Headless Nick.  My understand
was, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that being
called Sir was an indication of knighthood.  I'm not
up on British History, but was being a knight
something that was bewtowed or was it hereditary?

I'm also very curious as to if there were ever any
'Magical' Royalty, or do we think that the WW swore
oaths to a Muggle King and Queen?

thank you!
bamf!, the curious
