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
