The church
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.
The Japanese feudal system put peasants at the bottom, the daimyos or merchant middle class in the middle, and the warrior shoguns at the top.
Serfs. Being at the bottom of the social hierarchy meant that serfs did the bulk of the work and produced most of the goods, but the only benefit that they gained from the feudal system was the protection of their lords, which would oftentimes amount to no protection at all.
No. The king was the most important figure in the feudal system. He owned all the land in england and infeudated (rent in return for certain things such as military service) to his barons who infeudated it to knights and so on and so forth until the peasants. Therefore the priests and the church actually did not own any land at all making them less powerful if anything than prior to the Battle of Hastings. However King William had vowed to reform the church of England (hence gaining the papal banner to invade england with). Regardless of wether they gained or lost power, the church and priests were definitely not the most powerful people in the feudal system.
