Noble

Jobs in Pre-industrial agricultural societies were usually handed from parent to child. A carpenter would teach his son how to work wood so he would become a carpenter. A blacksmith would teach his son how to hammer hot iron into various shapes. A peasant couple would teach their kids to till the land and raise pigs and stuff, thus making them peasants. The people who were in charge of communities of such people for the most part were no exception, and since they wanted this to state of affairs to stay this way for their kids and were calling the shots, they made it this the law. Thus is created the class of nobility.

Several societies came to have formalized classes of nobility, including the Mesopotamians, the Chinese up until the Sui Dynasty, the Tokugawa Shogunate and some Meso-American societies like the Aztecs, but in the English Speaking world the form of nobility which comes to mind is that of Medieval Europe, which included Knights.
