AnswerChurch, King, lesser nobles, peasants, serfs. AnswerThe ranks of nobility, from highest to lowest were
  1. Emperor and empress
  2. King and Queen
  3. Archduke and Archduchess
  4. Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
  5. Prince and Princess; Duke and Duchess
  6. Marquess (Marquis) and Marchioness (Marquise)
  7. Earl (Count) and Countess
  8. Viscount and Viscountess
  9. Baron and Baroness (lowest level of peerage)
  10. Baronet and Baronetess
  11. Heredetary Knight and Dame
  12. Knight and Dame

Below the nobility were:

landed gentry without title

merchants and lesser freemen

serfs

slaves

Not all of these existed in the Middle Ages. I know there were no baronets, but I am not sure where various levels of dukes came into being or when.

The church had its own ranks, quite independetly from secular groups, with the pope at the top, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, and monsignors, and priests, though there are other titles that do not correspond to these.

Serfs would swear allegiance to a knight (or minor lord) who would swear allegiance to a baron who would be liable to a duke who would serve directly under the king.

Serfs --> Knight/minor lord --> Baron --> Duke --> King
