Revolt and rile noble, perhaps (9)
I believe the answer is:
rebellion
'revolt' is the definition.
(I know that revolt can be written as rebellion)
'rile noble perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'rile'+'noble'='rilenoble'
'rilenoble' with letters rearranged gives 'REBELLION'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rebellion that I've seen before include "Coup d'tat" , "Boxers' movement" , "Revolting" , "Insurgency" , "Rising" .)
