The highest social class in pre-modern societies and even in a few contemporary societies, and the status and title of a noble are usually inherited; basically another term for aristocrats, a tiny group of elite people who are omnipotent over the common people.
Nobles are born into wealth and power and often into politics, regardless of their merit to these privileges; peerage is the legal system to constitute the various hereditary titles.
From highest to lowest rank, the most common peerage titles are:
-duke and duchess
-marquis and marquise
-earl/count and countess
-viscount and viscountess
-baron and baroness
Under a feudal system, the nobility earned property from the monarch through military service.

The peasants resented the nobility for their frivolity, but at least these farmers had little to lose; the courts of the elite were swarming with ruthless intrigue, often with plots of overthrowing the royal family. Noblewomen were married off young, had little real power, and just served to manage households and produce many children (who were raised by nannies) to continue the family dynasty, never free to live or choose as they wanted.
Nobility had/have everything to lose: wealth, reputation, position, allies, public support, political influence, and life. A very public life with numerous people breathing down one's neck and threats on one's person did not help matters, either.

Get the nobility mug.Donna Noble is the Doctor's companion in the fourth series of long-running, popular British sci-fi show "Doctor Who".
Played by Catherine Tate, she was originally written as a one off companion for the 2006 Xmas special "The Runaway Bride". When it was announced that she was returning for series 4, the internet broke. A lot of people were venemently opposed to her return, some people were ecstatic, and some people determined to remain opinionless.
By the end of series 4 however, her brilliant timing, one-liners, fantastic attitude and general awesomeness had won over almost 100% of the fanbase, and Donna Noble has come to be regarded by many as one of the best things to happen to Doctor Who.
Her tragic exit in Journey's End (which I won't go into for fear of spoiling people/reminding people) bought many a fangirl and boy to tears, of epic proportions. That episode aired last June, and a lot of fans still can't get over it.
