Minor nobility refers to individuals or families who hold noble titles or rank but possess limited power, wealth, or land compared to higher-ranking nobles, such as dukes or counts. They often serve in local government or as landholders within a specific region, and their influence is typically more localized. The minor nobility plays a role in the social and political fabric of a society, often acting as intermediaries between the higher nobility and the common people.
