If he was actually a Baron, then he would've introduced himself as such- a lord of this and that. 

And I think that the Drakken have a significantly larger territory than those of England, don't you agree? The more special people there are, the less special they become. A single pound of gold in the entire world means that it is incredibly rare, and therefore, incredibly valuable. But if there is twenty thousand pounds, then it because twenty thousand times less valuable. I believe the same applies for the Drakken. They have many, many lords, over many, many different peoples across their territory. Far north, far south, and the homeland. The southern reaches would be colder, less hospitable- less valuable. Anyone owning land there instead of the homeland would, of course, be thought to be less worthy of note.

Thus, someone that isn't even a complete lord- just part of the family- from a rather useless 'barony' would be considered irrelevant. And yes, the very definition of irrelevant is essentially unimportant- not exactly the same, but it's better word choice.
