    Just fyi, noblesse oblige is the idea that people in a position of privilege are responsible to some degree for taking care of those who are less fortunate. Fealty is a vassals sworn loyalty to someone in a higher position.

      Fair point. I was thinking of “noblesse oblige” as “moral obligation of those of… powerful social position… to act with… generosity” whether warranted or not. But fealty works in this case as well.
