An aristocrat or noble was a member of the highest social class of a society, which often included political power and material wealth. The highest form of this is monarchy, a hereditary government system in which only one person (e.g. an emperor) rules over a sovereign state or region for life or until abdication. A monarch usually refers to a sovereign head of state, especially a king, queen, or emperor.
