The Gentry (genterie; Old French gentil: "high-born") are the "well-born, genteel, and well-bred people" of the social class below the nobility of a society. In contrast to the nobility, the gentry never obtained the right to bear a coat of arms, but, as families of long descent, they inherited a socio-economic position that connected them to the landed estates (manorialism) and to the upper levels of the clergy. The historical term, the gentry, is a construct that historians tentatively apply to the social-class systems of different societies.In the United Kingdom, the term gentry refers to the landed gentry, the majority of the land-owning social class who were typically armigerous (having a coat of arms), but did not have titles of nobility. Linguistically, the word gentry arose to identify the social stratum created by the very small number, by the standards of Continental Europe, of the Peerage of England, and of the parts of Britain, where nobility and titles are inherited by a single person, rather than the family, as usual in Europe. * The fundamental social division in Europe in the Middle Ages was between the "nobiles", the tenants in chivalry (counts, barons, knights, esquires, franklins) and the "ignobles", the villeins, citizens, and burgesses. The division of society into classes of nobles and ignobles, in the smaller regions of medieval Europe was inexact. After the Protestant Reformation, social intermingling between the noble class and the hereditary clerical upper class became a feature in the monarchies of Nordic countries. * Before creation of the gentry, there were analogous traditional social elites. The adjective patrician ("of or like a person of high social rank") describes the governing elites in a medieval metropolis, such as those of the free cities of Italy (Venice and Genoa), and the free imperial cities of Germany and Switzerland, and the Hanseatic League, which were different from the gentry. |
