These titles of Peerage were seen in the mid-Middle Ages. Used in Germanic Countries, a Freiherr roughly translates to “Free Lord”. These persons were of the lowest of Noble birth (but still Noble). They supervised smaller territories and landholdings of higher Peerage. The title was eventually absorbed into that of a “Baron”.
