Yes but it was said that God was the top and then the king.
It started when he became king in 1066. The feudal system was with the king at the top then the barons then came the knights then the peasant's.

There is one major error here: the Catholic Church, while structured as a hierarchy, is not an example of the feudal system.The Pope is the Bishop of Rome, and the formal leader of the Catholic Church.
A noble was part of the feudal system in Europe. The Feudal system was a type of governemnt formed in a hierartrical system. For example, those in the highest rank such as the Church and the King or Queen (matriarch) controlled everything. Then there were nobles, knights, lords, peasants, and serfs (from top to bottom of the feudal system not including the matriarch or king).
The feudal system gave the most power to the monarch or king. They were at the top of the feudal hierarchy and had control over vast amounts of land, resources, and people. The king granted land and privileges to the nobles in exchange for their loyalty and military service.

Both the Church and the feudal system had a hierarchical structure with a clear chain of command. In the Church, the Pope was at the top followed by cardinals, bishops, and priests. In the feudal system, the king or queen was at the top followed by nobles, knights, and peasants. Both systems relied on loyalty and obedience from those below them in the hierarchy.
