A monarch, second only to the pope who directs everyone.
Whether or not a noble was a vassal of the king depended on the rank of the noble and the location. In the middle ages every noble was a vassal except the king. However, not all were vassals of the king. The top nobles or counts were vassals of the king. They had nobles under them. Those nobles had to obey their counts but did not have to obey the king. So a count could and frequently did join a civil war against a king.When William the Conqueror conquered England, he not only made his barons vassals to the king, but he also made the entire population vassals of the king. Thus in England the entire population consisted of the king's vassals. l
A Middle Ages noble was a member of the aristocracy or nobility during the medieval period in Europe. They held a high social rank and had privileges such as owning land, collecting taxes, and commanding armies. Nobles played a crucial role in the feudal system, acting as vassals to a higher-ranking lord and providing military service in exchange for protection and land.
I know that the rank of a skilled artisan is usually in the middle rank of the hierachy, in most civilizations but I'm not sure in Rome, but in most civilizations the skilled artisans are i the middle rank (like Kush) Hope I helped
An archbishop had superior rank over a bishop but notsuperiority of order. They have similar jobs and tasks to bishops for example levied taxes and settled on issues such as divorce.
During the middle ages, the term lord referred to rank. The term vassal referred to relationship. A lord is a baron or a count. He is one rank in the nobility below the king. A vassal is a person who must serve or obey another person under certain conditions. (It gets complicated. A knight had to leave his house and go to war to fight under his overlord for 60 days during a year.) In France the king could give an order to a Count and then the Count would give an order to his underlings. However, the king could not give an order to that underling!
it depended on your rank in society
The rank of king is the ruling position in a monarchy. The king is the most powerful person in the kingdom and the rank is typically given to blood relatives in the royal family.

the king
Yes, it's legal and possible. Two rooks at A3 and A5 could trap a king at rank 4 for example, then moving queen at rank 4 would be checkmate.
In most European monarchies of the Middle Ages, the king or queen inherited the throne, and could do so at any age. There were even cases of monarchs who inherited the throne after the death of their fathers, so they were monarchs at birth. It was always a problem when a child was the monarch because the loyalty was supposed to be to the king or queen, but the king or queen was unable to rule until coming of age. The period when the child monarch was unable to rule was called a regency period and was dominated by regents who were not monarchs and had their own interests to consider. In a few countries, the king or queen was elected from among a number of candidates chosen according to rank. In such countries, the monarch was always an adult.
