I apologize. But Udelniy Kniaz still just above Kniaz. as owns a large lot of (fief), actually the head of an independent state. Therefore, it should be higher ...alternatively suggest this division about showing the titles of Russian lands in the years 1400-1520:
1) Baron - Dvoryanin (Votchinnik)
2) Viscount - Putniy Boyarin
3) Earl - Boyarin
4) Marquess - Sluzhiliy Knyaz. Sluzhiliy Knyaz (Service princes) was former feudal lords, who after joining their destinies to the Moscow State lost its independence. However, they retained ownership of the land. But as the area was principalities, usually great service princes were the largest landowners. Service princes held senior positions in the army and were at war with his own entourage. Later they merged with the top of the boyars.
5) Duke - Knyaz
6) Grand Duke - Udelniy Knyaz (feudal lords)
7) Archduke - Velikiy Knyaz
