What is the hierachy of medievil times?

Society was made up of three 'estates' those who worked, those who prayed and those who fought. Basically the serfs who tilled the land and looked to the nobility and knights to protect them in times of war. In exchange for which they farmed and created food and goods for the nobility and the clergy. The clergy took care of everyone's spiritual needs and acted as advisors to the nobility and controlled the serfs through their sermons. The nobility/knights were the lords who obeyed the king and acted on his behalf. They kept castles with serfs who farmed for them and supplied them as indicated. They protected and funded the clergy. They fought wars on behalf of the king. At the top of the pile was the king who made the laws, collected taxes, made wars and created the nobility. at the bottom were the serfs who laboured without ceasing to supply those above with what they needed and wanted.
