Question: In the context of Landed Gentry, an Estate (land) traditionally provided its owners with what primary form of economic support?
Trivia Question Study Fact: Within the British and Irish social structure, the landed gentry were landowners who derived income from their estates, typically through leasing land to tenant farmers, and ranked below the peerage but often possessed comparable wealth. Ownership of these estates frequently included feudal rights like lordship of the manor and associated titles such as 'squire' or 'laird'.
Trivia Question Explanation: The landed gentry largely lived off rental income derived from leasing their estates to tenant farmers, allowing them to maintain their social status and lifestyle without directly working the land themselves.
