Vassalage is the relationship between the feudal lord and his vassal. Kings had higher lords as vassals, and higher lords had lower lords as vassals. The practice was called subinfeudation.
The feudal system took place first in Ancient China, and years later was founded by Medival Europe (not from the chinese) and adopted it. It was used because it made managing the land easier for the monarchs, dividing the power among barons and lords.
They were to keep an eye out for the king. The lords and ladies hired knights and gave money to the king when needed.

it helped shift the power to the pesants and make a democrocy
The growth of towns diminished the power of feudal lords by fostering economic independence and creating a new social class of merchants and artisans. As towns developed, they often gained charters that granted them self-governing rights, which reduced the lords' control over local affairs. Additionally, the rise of a cash economy allowed townspeople to pay for goods and services directly, diminishing their reliance on feudal obligations. This shift in economic power contributed to the gradual decline of the feudal system.
The hundred years' war weakened the feudal system because it helped shift power from lords to monarchs to commoners. Knights and castles were less useful because gunpowder and longbows were invented. Also a new feeling of nationalism shifted power away from lords

Henry II's legal reforms weakened feudalism by centralizing authority in the royal courts, which reduced the power of local lords. The introduction of the jury system and royal judges diminished the reliance on feudal customs and decentralized legal proceedings. This shift in legal authority favored the king's power over the feudal lords, leading to a more unified and centralized legal system.

Status gives a person more power. The higher the status, the more power. For example, A King would have more power then Lords. Lords would have more power over knights. Knights would have more power than Serfs.
