How were lords punished if they disobeyed the church in middle ages?
In the Middle Ages, priests were not tried for crimes in secular courts unless they had committed such a crime as treason. For most felonies or misdemeanors, they were tried in ecclesiastical courts, which had rather different standards than secular courts. Punishments for priests found guilty of crimes usually included the guilty being defrocked, but could also include some sort of penance, such as service on the crusades or in a monastery. There was some question as to whether a priest who was defrocked could subsequently be tried for the same crime in secular court. If he was, then he would get the same punishment as anyone else.

What is the jurisdiction of the courts?
Federal Courts: trial for crimes committed against the Federal government, its laws, and its agents; interstate crime, terrorism cases, and suits against the Federal Government. In other words, if you break a federal law, you go to federal court. If you assault an FBI agent, you go to federal court. If you commit multiple, related crimes in more than one state, you go to federal court. And if you are a state or individual suing the government over the constitutionality of a particular law (like some states are doing over healthcare), you go to federal court. Civil suits (where neither the plaintiff nor the defendant is a government representative) can be filed in Federal court but usually only when involving a matter above a state level of significance or when the entities involved are too large or geographically diversified to be subject to a particular state's jurisdiction (e.g. the Microsoft-Apple or Google-RIM patent disputes, or more recently the NFL lockout). State Courts: All other civil and criminal cases. Even a major serial killer case will likely be heard in state court, as long as the crimes were all committed in one state -- and even if Federal Law Enforcement participated in the case. As an example, the perpetrator of the Arizona shooting will be tried in federal court because he injured a member of congress. If Rep. Giffords had not been involved, the case would probably be tried in state court.
