 | | For the use of the title of that fief, > however, it was also necessary first to be ennobled. |
 | | Count and baron are "title" of nobility in Italy, but there are thousands of families that aren't count, baron, marquise or others, and are only and were only called "noble" videlicet nobil homo, dominus, messer, or patrician in some places or, domini or cavalier or dominus miles if you prefer latin. |
 | | And, to be more specific, in general, to have a lordship of a feudum they had to be yet noble (chevalier, dominus miles etc.) (a part rich people non-noble that bought it, Berardenghi, Anono, Scacabarozzi, etc. etc.) I'm not talking about people that have bought a title in XVIII° or other more modern centuries. |
