Knights were nobles and they were nobles because a king gave them land and power. So, they had to be loyal to this person or they would loose power, land, and titles. In some cases also their life.
-----
In theory, knights were supposed to be loyal to whoever knighted them, usually a king, but sometimes some other member of high nobility, depending on local custom. The loyalty also passed to the heir of that person. The problem with this is that as the Middle Ages continued, it became more and more common for knights not to be given their own estates to support them, and knights had to depend more and more on pay. Also, wars produced numbers of knights who had been deprived of their estates. So as time went on, mercenary knights became more and more common. These people were supposed to be loyal to whoever hired them, and oaths were often required for this, but the oaths were based on periods of time or the duration of a conflict.
