How to use "Leisured class" in context?
The term "leisured class" has been used to describe a social class that is wealthy but does not have to work often. Leisured classes were first developed in Europe during the Middle Ages. At this time, wealth was often hereditary, so the owners of large estates could spend their time doing things that they enjoyment rather than working on their estates.
One of the main ways that the leisured class achieved this was by owning many horses. Horses were expensive to maintain, so the wealthy could afford to ride them for recreation and also for transportation.
