New Nobility

a widely used name for the portion of the 16th- and 17th-century English nobility that, unlike the old feudal nobility, was able to adapt to the development of capitalist relations. It emerged as the main ally of the bourgeoisie during the English Civil War. The majority of the new nobility were of the minor and middle nobility, that is, members of the gentry.
