Answer:

The "nobles" were the king and the knights.

Answer:

The kings, of course, were usually at the top of the feudal pyramid.

Below the kings were various members of the nobility, each of whom was given some responsibility for some piece of land and its people. After the initial chaos of the Middle Ages was over, the titles and land of nobility were usually hereditary.

Knights were of the lesser nobility, but were also usually members of heavy cavalry. Unlike most titles of nobility, the title of knight could usually not be inherited. The land associated with the title, however, was usually hereditary.

Younger sons of hereditary nobles usually became knights or members of the clergy.
