No, a chaplain was a type of priest and a member of the Church hierarchy. He was neither nobleman nor peasant, since the Church was a separate institution alongside those other parts of society.

The role of a chaplain was normally to staff a chapel; this would often be entirely paid for by a nobleman and the chaplain received money from the same nobleman throughout his life, in return for constant prayers and Masses on behalf of the nobleman, his family and his dead ancestors. This was intended to guarantee the nobleman forgiveness for his sins and a place in Heaven when he died - continued prayers in his chapel would also ensure the health of his soul in Heaven after his death.

Chaplains could not normally baptise children, perform weddings or certain other services; these were the function of parish priests.
