- Nobility & Non-Nobility Statuses:
Nobility
Nobles are granted privileges by the Monarch, usually in association with a specific title, office and/or estate. Nobles would often derive wealth from one or more estates, large or small, that might include fields, pastures, orchards, forests, hunting grounds, streams, etc.. It can also include infrastructure such as a castle, well, or even a mill where serfs are allowed access for a price.
Nobles often commanded tribute in the form of entitlement to cash rents, usage taxes, labour, and/or a portion of the annual corp yield from the serfs or nobles of lower rank. One could gain ennoblement by being recognized by the monarch. This could be achieved in several ways.
All nobles and their fiefs are considered vassals to the Emperor, granting limited autonomy but being fully submissive to the Emperor.
Emperor/Empress Emperors are a the highest rank of landed gentry and the highest rank of dignified nobles. Emperors control the entire Empire, and all who are apart of it.
Duke/Duchess Dukes are a rank of landed gentry, and a dignified noble. Dukes control fiefs called a Duchy, which often includes commanding several counties, effectively controlling them.
Count/Countess Counts are a rank of landed gentry, and a dignified noble. Counts control fiefs called a County, which often includes commanding several Baronies, effectively controlling them.
Baron/Baroness Barons are landed gentry, and the lowest rank of dignified nobles. Barons controlled fiefs called a Barony, which often included a single town with a Royal Charter and commanded surrounding Baronetcies, effectively controlling them.
Baronet/Baronetess Baronets are landed gentry, and the highest rank of undignified nobles. Baronets controlled fiefs called a Baronetcy, which often included a single village with farmland and commanded any surrounding Knight's Fiefs, effectively controlling them. Because they work directly with the serfs, they are undignified nobility, and are called Sir/Dame like Knights.
Knight Knights are the lowest level of undignified noble. Knights are distinguished warriors, being granted Knighthood for such. Knights are still expected to fight in service of their monarch. In return they are given fiefs, most often farmland or single buildings. They use this to support themselves, and try to make a profit.
Terminology Dignified Noble = Addressed by *title*, *title* *name*, or my lord. Landed Gentry = Nobles able to live entirely off of rent. Undignified Noble = Addressed by sir/dame *name*.
Serfs
The serfs are the citizens of Anglicus society. Serfs had several duties and several rights because of their duties. All serf's had to pay taxes and fees, most often in labour on the Baronet's fields. They'd plow fields, harvest crops, dig ditches, repair fences or even work in the Baronet's manor. The difficulty is that their work for their Baronet coincided with, and too kprecedence over, the work they needed to do on their own lands. In addition to service, serfs have to pay taxes and fees, usually in the form of agricultural produce rather than cash.
In exchange for their service, serfs had certain privileges and rights. Serfs could gather wood from their Baronet's forests, an essential fuel source. They could also grow any crops they wanted too on their lands, and sell the surplus. They also couldn't be dispossessed without legal cause. The Baronets also had to protect their serfs, and give charity in times of famine.
Freeman/Freewoman Freeman/Freewoman are the highest form of a serf, essentially out of serfdom. Also known as Free Tenants, they still pay taxes but owe no service to their Baronet. Free Tenants often rented houses with or without additional land. They could use their time however they wanted, even waste it.
Villein A villein is a serf, but has more rights and a better position than the Cottager. Villeins typically rent homes, with or without additional land. As part of being a serf, they are expected to work on the Baronet's fields. But, unlike the Cottager, Villeins typically only work a single season. Because of this they have substantially more spare time, and can use it for their own profit.
Cottager A cottager is a serf who owns a cottage, a garden, and just enough farmland to feed themselves and their family if they have any. They make profit with lucky harvests yielding surplus after taxes, from their garden, and any side-work they do. Cottagers also work on the Baronet's fields, sometimes all year.

| FANTASTIC! Finally someone who appreciates the Equiss Empire! I will be building this empire on my newly world edited (My experiment) Island that I will either pm you the coords to when I am done or will add a portal or something.... or perhaps a warp...
You'll be needing to set up a house (Obviously for this it's GM1, since... I am a terrible MC player.) I will have to discuss the details of the empire with you Horse, you shall be our top diplomat! And maybe even governor or something of one of our provinces... because... why not right? | |

| We've attained 2 new colonies and a military outpost. Desolation, Truncatis, and the outpost of Survival.
We're also having a major project, a road connecting Alpis to North Alpis Free Farms, a distance of over 5,000 blocks. Along this road will be a village for the tired. | |
