A feudal hierarchy was basically a list everyone in Medieval Towns from the most to least powerful. This is how it looks like:
The king
The lords
The vassals
The knights
The peasants
An improvement in this answer:
Hierarchy is not really an issue of social set up, but more based on the language. For instance, Indian languages have a tight code of 'respect' to the top and pejorative 'disrespect', insult and snubbing to the lower man. This involves the effect of feudal language codes. So that even though England has a feudal social set up, in practice the social set up of India, where there is no statutory feudalism is more feudal and suppressing to the lower man.
Moreover, the word 'feudal' as understood in Continental Europe has a very basic difference from that in England. That is due to the language code issue. For understanding this, a very simple comparison of feudal behaviour of the French nobility with that of the English nobility can be had in A Tale of Two Cities.
Now, the theme can be taken a bit forward and it may be mentioned that the term feudalism as understood in Asian and African nations, including India, is quite removed from that understood in Europe and England. This again is due to the terrible lowering quality of the Asian and possibly African languages aimed at the lower classes. In many ways, this is essentially the issue of castes, and the need for apartheid.
