The '''Lord''' (ロード) is the class of most of the main characters of the {{FES}} and is perhaps the most important class in terms of completing most chapter objectives, generally defined as a a young member of a noble family and the son/daughter of the head of the noble family in question, either a prince/princess or the child of a duke or similar.  "Lord" is treated as a unisex class name, applied equally to female characters ([[Lyn]], [[Eirika]]) as it does to males, and is generally used regardless of whether "Lord" would be the character's actual title, as a prince or princess would not be addressed as "lord" and are typically not in dialogue in such instances.  The only instances where "lord" would be the correct form of address for a Lord character are [[Roy]], [[Eliwood]]<ref>{{Cite|'''Ninian:''' Lord Eliwood...<br>'''Eliwood:''' Ninian.|[[Ninian]] and [[Eliwood]]|Blazing Sword}}</ref> and [[Hector]] (and [[Sigurd]] and [[Seliph]], but neither are of this class).

In gameplay, the Lord's function is somewhat similar to that of the [[wikipedia:King (chess)|king]] in a game of [[wikipedia:chess|chess]]: they are the leader of the army, and to be defeated in battle is to fail the chapter and get a [[game over]].  Conversely, Lords (or Lord-like units) are the only characters with the ability to seize thrones and gates and complete chapters with such objectives, and typically are the wielders of powerful weapons required to successfully combat final bosses.  The general statistical build of a Lord varies depending on the game and character in question, but as a rule they are well-rounded in their stats other than the individual's obvious strongest field; they also typically possess higher [[luck]] than most others, and mostly share the rather low [[resistance]] endemic to non-magic units.   Characterised as being inexperienced yet having great potential, their stats will almost always start off somewhat low, but with their typical high [[growth rate]]s will improve very quickly and become highly potent fighters.  The majority of Lords wield only swords, but occasionally Lords wielding non-sword weapons appear, like [[Hector]] ([[axe]]s) and [[Ephraim]] ([[lance (weapon)|lances]]).

In all but one appearance, the Lord is a basic class - the exception is {{title|Path of Radiance}}, where [[Ike]]'s base class is [[Ranger]] and he promotes to Lord, symbolic of him being knighted and joining the nobility. Typically, a Lord's [[class change]] is unique to it, if not in name then in appearance and stat build.  The most common promoted Lord classes are the [[Master Lord]], for [[Roy]] in {{title|Fuuin no Tsurugi}} and [[Chrom]] in {{title|Awakening}}, and the [[Great Lord]], for [[Hector]] in {{title|Blazing Sword}} and [[Eirika]] and [[Ephraim]] in {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, prime examples of one class of the same name being very different between games{{hover|*|In the Japanese version, Eirika and Ephraim's promoted class was Master Lord.}}.  Also in ''Blazing Sword'', both [[Eliwood]] and [[Lyn]] have unique promoted classes - Eliwood promotes to [[Knight Lord]], while Lyn promotes to [[Blade Lord]].  As {{title|Thracia 776}} is an interquel to [[FE4|its predecessor]] set in the time before [[Leif]] joins [[Seliph]]'s army, Leif's promoted class there is [[Prince]], his base class in ''Seisen''.  In his four appearances in the [[Archanea]] tetralogy, [[Marth]] does not promote; in the two [[Nintendo DS]] remakes, {{title|Shadow Dragon}} and {{title|Shin Monshou no Nazo}}, his [[level]] cap is instead increased to level 30 as compensation.

Three games do not feature the Lord class: {{title|Gaiden}}, {{title|Seisen no Keifu}} and {{title|Radiant Dawn}}.  All three instead give their lead characters classes which are the Lord in all but name, sometimes with some alternative utility; such classes are colloquially called "Lord-like" or generically also called "Lords".  The classes for the ''Gaiden'' heroes, [[Alm]] and [[Celica]], are [[Fighter]] and [[Priest]] respectively.  [[Seliph]]'s class in ''Seisen no Keifu'' is [[Junior Lord]], literally a conventional Lord with a slightly different name.  [[Micaiah]] of ''Radiant Dawn'' is a [[Light Mage]]; in his reappearance, Ike starts off as a [[Hero]], ostensibly a promoted class, and throughout the game several other characters all act as the Lord character of at least one chapter, and almost all have conventional classes.
