Some baronies were historically quite large, and many have passed out of the control of the aristocracy in the modern era, since the role of the nobility in general society has changed. Barons, for example, no longer control the lives of serfs and servants, and they may not always be members of the military responsible for defending their monarchs and home nations. Barons are entitled to wear certain ceremonial items, including coronets and robes trimmed with ermine. The specifics of these items, such as the number of rows of ermine and number of jewels in a coronet vary, depending on the nation, and these items are only worn at ceremonial occasions.
