  Osher Map Library: Percy Map: Hugh, earl Percy
Percy's active military career ended with his return from the colonies in 1777, but he continued to serve in largely ceremonial positions: he obtained the colonelcy of the second troop of Horse Grenadier Guards (1784) and of the premier regiment, the Horse Guards in 1806; he became a full general in the army in 1793.
Percy, displaying the irascibility for which he would be famous in later life, was furious that Howe should listen to a mere major before a general and heir to a dukedom.
Percy's own copy of Sauthier's chorographical map of New York, published in London by William Faden in 1779, was among the maps sold at the Percy auction in May 1997 (see the description of the provenance of the "Percy Map").

 Scottish feudal baronies (feudal barons, feudal baron) including the oath of a knight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Earls and barons normally granted part of their lands, or sub-feued, to others, that is knights, to be held of them by knight's service, one or more knights' fees or even a fraction of a knight's fee; they would retain part of their land as 'demesne', a sort of 'home farm' if you like.
The baron court is therefore probably best regarded as an administrative council of the baron and his tenants (a sort of parliament as stated), as well as a court of law, and might not try a serious crimminal case for decades, if ever.
Barons did not have to personally attend their own court (except possibly in criminal matters) and day-to-day functions were often delegated to court officials, such as a baron baillie, a baron sergeand and a dempster.
