yeomen, merchants, and professions
husbandmen and labourers
vagrants



Nobles (or peers):

Duke

Marquis

Earl

Viscount

Baron



Only the eldest son of a noble family inherited a title - this kept the number of nobles low

Though not tax-exempt, the nobility did possess important privileges, including the right to sit in House of Lords, and the right to be tried only by their peers (other lords in the House of Lords).
Bishops also sat in the House of Lords, and before the Reformation some abbots (i.e. the chief monk of a monastery) sat there too.



Gentlemen:

Baronet

Knight

Esquire

'Mere' gentlemen




It was said that "gentlemen are made good cheap in England;" anyone with a master's degree from one of the two universities (Oxford and Cambridge) counted as a gentlemen, as did any member of a profession (physician, lawyer). The means of gentlemen varied enormously, from small farmers to extremely wealthy landowners. Gentlemen held political power locally as Justices of the Peace and nationally as Members of Parliament. Gentry made up approximately 2% of the English population in 1600, but owned 50% of land (the nobility owned about 15%; church & crown owned most of the remainder).

The richest merchants were very wealthy, for example, aldermen of London were richer than almost all landed gentlemen.

Other Commoners (non-Nobles):
Yeomen were prosperous farmers, (i.e. with incomes in excess of £40 per annum in 1600).
Below yeomen were husbandmen, (earning about £15 pounds per annum in 1600).
A Labourer lacked enough land to maintain himself and his family, (though he often had a cottage and garden, and grazing rights for cattle on the local common), and consequently had to work for wages.
The going rate for day labor in 1600 was roughly 1s per day when work was available, but agricultural work was seasonal, and many labourers would only have been able to find work for six months in the year.
With an annual income of about £9 pounds, labourers barely earned enough to get by.
