Dear Sir,
In reply to your mail of 14 November 2007 regarding the English meaning and definitions of two Danish titles: Lensbaron and Lensgreve, I can inform you that the translation is Feudal Baron and Feudal Count. Feudal Count and Feudal Baron are the definitions of the highest noble rank in Denmark. The rank was introduced in 1671 by a statement of creating counties and baronies. A Feudal Count is a count who is enfeoffed with a county by the Danish king.
Yours sincerely
