Depending on the country, the lowest class regarded as noble was the landed gentry or the knights, and the highest of the Middle Ages was the Dukes. Members of the royalty were not considered members of the nobility, though many had noble titles. Another thing to remember is that there was the institution of peerage, which separated higher nobles from lower. The peers were expected to advise the king, and those who were not peers were commoners.

The levels of English peers, from highest to lowest (with their continental equivalents, were:

  • Duke
  • Marquess (marquis, in France or Spain, Markgraf in Germany)
  • Earl (count, on the continent)
  • Viscount
  • Baron

And the levels of commoners who were noble included:

  • Baronet
  • Knight
  • Untitled Gentleman

What was the feudal triangle?

The feudal triangle, also known as the feudal system, was a hierarchical structure that defined the social, economic, and political organization of medieval Europe. It consisted of three main classes: the king, who granted land to nobles; the nobles (lords), who provided military service and protection in exchange for land; and the peasants (serfs), who worked the land and provided labor in return for protection and sustenance. This system created a network of mutual obligations and loyalty among the different classes, shaping the dynamics of medieval society.
