Landed gentry is a largely historical privileged British social class consisting of land owners who could live entirely from rental income.
In Classical antiquity and Christendom, prudence and fortitude were seen as the cardinal virtues that should govern society. Gentry (from Old French genterie, from gentil, high-born, noble) are well-born, genteel and well-bred people of high social class, especially in the past.
