To use modern terminology, the patricians were an aristocracy and the plebeians were the commoners. The term plebeian covered both rich and poor non-patricians. The rich plebeians were the leaders of the plebeian movement which fought for the economic grievances of the poor plebeians. Over time, the rich plebeians used this movement to gain access to power and were eventually co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. They were given equite (cavalryman) status and the equestrian (cavalry) order was turned into a lower tier of the aristocracy (the patricians were the higher tier). The rich plebeians were no longer called plebeians. They turned their back on the poor plebeians. Later, the (poor) plebeian movement became rebellious again as their economic grievances were not addressed properly.
