Sep 28, 2020 at 17:43 comment added Tom Hosker I'm flattered that my question has drawn the attention of someone of your high reputation; however, your answer is only tangentially connected to what I asked - or, at the very least, what I intended to ask. I wanted to know whether the title of boyar had a clearly defined status - like being a viscount in the court of Henry VIII - or if it referred to a less clearly defined social class. I wanted to know about Russia, with a focus on the decades preceding the reign of Peter the Great.
