In the monastic communities, the lowest grade would be a novice or oblate.
Among lay clergy the lowest grades were students in Church schools, church porters (doorkeepers) and clerks in minor orders; all of these were supposed to have their heads shaved in the Roman tonsure, just like priests, bishops and popes.
