It goes:
King
Duke/Earl
Count
Marquess (border areas)
Barons

Knights
Peasants/Mercenaries/Serfs
If you are below someone, then you are a vassal. Even a king can be a vassal. William I was king of England, but also a vassal to the king of France.

The serfs who are mostly poor will be needing protection as well as a place to live in (err-- land). Thus, the serfs are usually required to pay taxes or till the vassal's land or serve the vassal. The reciprocal relationship between the feudal lord, vassal, and serf shows that neither can live without the other. Land, on the other hand, is given much importance because a thousand years ago, everybody wanted/needed land. (Territory was a necessity)
