well, corpora makes a sharp distinction between the 
two roles. The one
thing a baron isn't allowed to do is be seneschal at 
the same time, to
avoid conflict of interest between the ceremonial 
role and the business
role. I still have a lot of interests, tho', and 
would have to find a
balance between the baron job and all those other 
things I like to do
(autocrat events, organize classes, etc.).
