Malory himself was ostensibly a member of the nobility, and yet he was accused of various crimes ranging from ambush to rape during his life, and he died in jail. This is one example of how the chivalric codes portrayed in literature of the period were not adhered to as strongly in real life.

This period was also characterized by the 'war of the roses' in which England was inflicted by a civil war, something that the homosocial bonds in the Arthurian court does not reflect, although the civil war with Mordred does.

How were medieval knights treated by other groups?

Well a knight was usually of noble birth so he was generally higher within the social classes, which may lead you to believe that he treated other classes poorly but many knights also lived by a code of chivalry which would include defending the defenseless, always speak the truth, and respect and honor women. In this sense a knight was revered as saintly, kind, and gentle. So from that you could say that a knight treated all social classes with due respect and kindness.
