Realm of certain noblemen (7)

I believe the answer is:

earldom

(Other definitions for earldom that I've seen before include "What sort of noble has" , "A noble's lands or title" , "Essex?" , "Aristocratic domain above a viscountcy but below a marquessate" , "Aristocratic rank or title" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
