Within the County of Byrd are found two baronies. The Barony of Schuylkill is directly ruled by the Duke of Moulton-Berlin. This fief was created so to attach land to the Duke's pre-existing title as the Baron of Schuylkill. The title of Schuylkill had been awarded intially by the ULC in 1999. Its flag is a variation on his personal blazon, lozengy rather than chequy. It still sports his Bengal tiger device as does the Order of the Tiger.
