Well...sort of. A Court Barony, AoA and some Grants can be given
pretty much at the whim of the Crown. Some other Grants and all the
Peerages require the Crown to consult with those groups
first--although the Crown is not obligated to follow their
recommendations. County and Ducal titles can only be gotten by
sitting the Throne.
So the King could make his best buddy a Court Baron, but he couldn't
make him a Count or a Duke on a whim.
