(n., adj., slang)

A lord whose territory is completely granted out to subordinate vassals such that none of it remains under his direct control. (In the 17th century, mob meant “slut” or, later, “prostitute.” A mobcap is a kind of hat once associated with such persons.) “Can we even call that mobcap a lord anymore if he doesn’t even know what’s happening on his own turf?”
