barren, baron

Barren or barren means lifeless and empty--
The barren landscape was depressing to look at.
He felt homesick when he saw the barren desert.

Baron or baron is a title of nobility, in countries where some people are aristocrats--
They invited the baron to tea, and spent all week getting ready for his visit.
The count considered the young baron an upstart.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The baron stopped his horse and looked out over the barren plains."

Note-- "barony"  means the land or estate of a baron--
He was granted the barony by the king.
