Anonymous users2024-02-05The aristocratic hierarchy is divided into five titles, that is, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons.
In the United Kingdom today, because the political system is a constitutional monarchy, these titles are still used today. The rank of knighthood is from smallest to largest: baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke. Below the baron there is also the subordinate baron, who is the lowest rank in the hereditary title.
Background of the aristocratic hierarchy:
Aristocracy originally referred to the upper class formed by the superiority of power and property over other classes in slave societies and feudal societies, including military aristocracy, secular aristocracy, and religious aristocracy. After evolution, the aristocracy continued in some countries, forming a stable aristocratic class.
Many countries in Europe are religious, so the power of the church is very great, and it is more powerful than the imperial power, especially in the Middle Ages. Then, after the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, etc., the bourgeoisie emerged and gradually increased in strength.
In the process of European development, imperial power has never played a big role, or its time to play a role is limited, so the European aristocracy has been inherited and hereditary for thousands of years.

The aristocracy in Western countries is similar to the fifth-class titles in the United Kingdom, but there are also differences, for example, the German titles are divided into 15th class, the Polish titles are divided into 4th class (no viscount), and the Hungarian titles are divided into 3rd class (no marquis or viscount).
Western aristocracy:
The original aristocracy developed from the military aristocracy of the feudal society. At first, knights swore allegiance to their lords and fought for them in exchange for land. In the revolution of military technology in feudal society, the invention of the smoothbore gun gradually lifted the private control of the aristocracy over the army.

First of all, we need to understand.
The aristocracy itself was a relatively independent class, but there was also mobility among them, especially in the later period, with the development of the commodity economy and the increase in the flow of social components, the late Middle Ages also began to have people from the lower generations to join the ranks. Some of them are through marriage, because of the imbalance between men and women within the aristocratic group, there is a marriage between the lower families and the nobility; Some were awarded the title of nobility for their outstanding performance in the royal family and nobles; There are also economically wealthy people who rise to the nobility by virtue of their economic power. At the same time, landless and dilapidated aristocrats appeared, and the family emblem became a symbol of poverty. >>>More
