 Those who are [[Contadino]] will work the land for their [[Liege Lord]] in exchange for shelter, security, equipment and mentorship in their chosen tradecraft.  Each [[Liege Lord]] may also maintain their own military for defense and to answer the [[Doge]]’s [[Call to Arms]].  Terms for military service and working the land are handled within each [[Fiefdom]] or [[Baronetcy]].  Once a [[Contadino]] has earned the trust of their [[Liege Lord]] then they may be promoted to [[Popolano]] or Freeman/Free Populace.  A Freeman may stay on as a [[Tenant]], paying rent on the land, but now also keeping a portion of their harvested resources or trade goods.  Depending on the terms, the [[Popolano]] may have to buy their own equipment or continue to enjoy free equipment from the [[Liege Lord]].

-Equites.  An Eques is a special rank, specifically Knight Bachelors or Court Baronets who are considered lesser nobles.  The titles are hereditary and do not carry the grant of lands, although they are considered candidates for future land grants.  As part of the lore and history of the Republic, the "Horse Lords" or Equites provided the military with vast supplies of horses for the cavalry based armies of ancient times.  They were considered part of the lower castes of the economic hierarchy until their herds catapulted the Republic forward in military might leading to explosive growth of its lands.  In short order, the Equites were elevated to an almost noble status flooded with wealth and favor by the upper echelons of Republic society.
