An archaic or variant term for a barony; the state or territory of a baron.
A variant or archaic form of barony, possibly influenced by the -ry suffix (as in pastry, archery). The -ry suffix typically denotes a place, condition, or collection related to the root word.
Baronry is nearly extinct—it's a wonderful example of how language naturally prunes variant forms, keeping whichever one 'sounds right' to speakers; barony won that competition.
