  Landed property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landed property or landed estates is a real estate term that usually refers to a property that generates income for the owner without the owner having to do the actual work of the estate.
Landed property was a key element of feudalism, and freed the owner for other tasks, such as government administration, military service, the practice of Law or religious practices.
The last large exemplar of the principle of a landed aristocracy as a basis of rule, Russia under the Romanov dynasty, literally died in the Bolshevik Revolution.

 Landed gentry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landed gentry is a term traditionally applied in Britain to members of the upper class with country estates often (but not always) farmed on their behalf by others, and who might be without a peerage or other hereditary title.
This term referred to those who owned sufficient land to be able to live on the proceeds of letting their property to tenants, or possibly to employ a steward or bailiff to farm all or part of it for them, rather than farming it personally.
The agricultural sector's middle class, on the other hand, was comprised of the larger tenant farmers, who rented land from the landowners and employed agricultural labourers to do the manual work, and yeoman farmers.

In a sense, Anne is less marrying down in status, than she is marrying up into a socially rising class with a newly recognized sense of dignity and grace, and a sense of understanding what is truly important in life.

Whether the proletariat is the predominant class amongst these depends on the extent of the economic development, although this factor does not determine whether the proletariat comprises the majority of the population.
But the one thinks they will be best served by an alliance with the landed class, and forcible suppression of the working classes, while the other fears dire consequences from this policy, and strives to conciliate the working classes by small concessions at the expense of the landed class.
A class may still remain the rulers, while changes occur in the governing party, if the majority of the ruling class considers the methods of the existing governing party unsuitable, and that of its opponents to be more appropriate.

Also, the children of the judicial class tended to stay in the judicial class so it was in the interests of the judicial class and their children to keep their own loyalties, customs, and privileges.
While they in most cases were not landed gentry, their separateness and their loyalty to their class gave them something to be proud of that they wished to pass on to their children in much the same manner as the king and the landed gentry.
The judiciary was the only class that had any tenure and that was not heriditary (could not be passed on to children) and in most of the lower courts was an elective office.

 The Iregemi class of landed nobility
At most stages of history the Iregemi and his family obtained their land and peasants by virtue of a grant from the sovereign, and in exchange gave a share of the harvest for the state.
A number of the noble houses had interests other than the land or the military, like timbering, mining or trade-- this was increasingly so after the fall of the Two Empires, when banda values, including contempt for commerce, had begun to erode.
Thereafter nearly all panitei/banda were landed gentry, and at least before 500 AD most Iregemi were panitei/banda., and Iregemi were expected to uphold all the banda values.

A slowly forgotten social change in the second half of the twentieth century was the disappearance of one the most important European social features of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the European social class system: not only the working class, but also the bourgeoisie, the lower middle class, the landed aristocracy, the peasants.
First, because of the increase in real wages and the rise of the modern welfare state during the era of prosperity, a crucial element of the working-class social milieu, local social solidarity in poverty, was less in demand.
The enormous expansion of education and of educational opportunity for children of all social classes made secondary and higher education less of an instrument of distinction between the working and the middle class.

In response to the progress and effects of the industrial revolution, coupled with the active economic involvement of a bourgeois class of merchants, the landed aristocracy consolidated their holdings, moving the peasants from the countryside into urban centers, poor houses, and worse, while developing more advanced methods of agriculture.
Their basic needs were filled by the policies of the ruling class, and in return, the ruling class culled widespread support for archaic monarchical impulses.
The landed aristocracy, not concerned with advanced commercial agriculture, tied the peasant to his land through a continued system of serfdom, exercised its control through nationalist banter and the accumulation of grains for sale at national markets.

The difference between the situation of white indentured servants and that of African slaves was far less then that between indentured servants and their upper class, or even not-quite upper class masters.

Another very important factor that contributed to the deteriorating relationship between zamindars and tenants was the emergence of a landed intermediate class contrary to the rules of the Permanent Settlement.
The law courts were giving conflicting judgements as regards the rights and liabilities of the intermediate classes and also of the peasants.
The operation of the Permanent Settlement and the growth of commercial crops led to the rise of a rich peasantry which was quite close to the landed class in riches and social influence, but their rights over land were not very clear under the laws of the Permanent Settlement.
