This is misleading or simply wrong. Landed gentry is a part of the series, but not gentry in general, in the same way Upper class, Bildungsbürgertum is not. Moving Part of a series on European... ranks in Western culture to Landed gentry. Doctoral historian ( talk) 12:43, 11 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Gentry is not a title (Royal and noble ranks), as Aristocracy -moved to landed gentry i.e. people of good social position, specifically the class of people next below the nobility in position and birth. Doctoral historian ( talk) 17:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC) reply

It's hard to see what you are trying to say, but Landed gentry in Britain is not a "rank" in any meaningful sense. It does not mean "people of good social position, specifically the class of people next below the nobility in position and birth", it means people who owned a lot of agricultural land, and lived off the proceeds.

There's this sentence:

' Esquire (abbreviated Esq.) is a term derived from the French "écuyer" '

But the word "écuyer" is modern French, there correct word here would be "escuier" in Old French

"Escuier" became "Esquire" in Middle English, & became "Squire" in Modern English.

"Escuier" became "Escuyer" in Middle French, & became "Écuyer" in Modern French.

If no one has a problem with it I'll change it to "Escuier" in a few days.

I feel like there should not be confused with the group Gentri, who don't have a Wikipedia page. AAEexecutive ( talk) 20:24, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
