Nobility

Nobility in the feudal system refers to a social class of landowners who held power and privileges in medieval society. They typically received land, known as fiefs, from a king or higher-ranking noble in exchange for loyalty and military service. Nobles governed their territories, maintained order, and protected their subjects. Their status was often hereditary, passing down through generations. Nobility played a key role in the political and social structures of feudalism, serving as a bridge between the monarch and the common people, while adhering to a code of conduct and responsibilities associated with their rank.
