Gary H gives a good answer. Here's a link for a nice little online dictionary that will get you much quicker answers next time. It's more concise than Wikiipedia which is a good second stop for extra info - but remember, Wiki is edited by anyone and everyone so the facts may not be reliable.

An oligarch is a member of a small group or faction that is in a position to govern. It could be a small group of rulers where government is in the hands of that group alone.
