I think the Baron/ess should be sort of a "senior statesman" role --
advising when asked, but not trying to take the seneschal's role.  Of
course it's the baron/ess's role to hold courts and make presentations
of honors and awards, but that shouldn't be all.  They should be a
facilitator, who can get diverse groups working together, too.  The
baron/ess should be leaders, not figureheads.
