: évidemment bon mais quelle différence justement entre lord et overlord alors ?
/Peut-être, mais faut-il en conclure à une erreur dans le texte original ?

seigneur
C'est seigneur dans le sens de Maître. il est bien sur le vassal de celui qui est son suzerain (le roi de France) mais Lord comme Seigneur en Fr a cette double connatation de maitre, puisqu'elle sert aussi à nommer Dieu (our Lord, notre Seigneur)

Maître
no lord above him = sans être soumis à aucun Maître
Discussion
1. Is the following text "your" full paragraph ?
"4. Which areas were controlled by William?
William controlled two large areas: Normandy, which he had been given by his father, and England, which he had won in war. Both were personal possessions, and it did not matter to the rulers that the ordinary people of one place were English while those of another were French. To William the important difference between Normandy and England was that as duke of Normandy he had to recognise the king of France as his lord, whereas in England he was king with no lord above him. "
