The social hierarchy in early Ireland had two distinct groups: the free and the unfree classes.
The free classes were divided into the: Céile, Bó Aire, Flaith, Rí-Tuath, and higher kingly grades.
The privileged classes were called Nemedh, and only the wealthiest of Bó Aire and certain grades of Áes Dana (people of are) and Flaith belonged to them.
The unfree classes were Bothach, Senchléithe, and Fuidhir. In early Ireland, a person's status was established through a renter economy where people of greater wealth loaned goods to people of lesser wealth.
This created subjects and helped establish a person's status, especially in the grades of the Flaith and the Rí.
Status was not necessarily defined by how much one owned, but rather by how much one could afford to give.
