Detailed explanation-1: -During the middle ages, in the feudal hierarchy, at the top of the chain was the King. After the King came the nobles.

Detailed explanation-2: -A feudal society has three distinct social classes: a king, a noble class (which could include nobles, priests, and princes) and a peasant class. Historically, the king owned all the available land, and he portioned out that land to his nobles for their use. The nobles, in turn, rented out their land to peasants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Above all, the king relied on the system to enable him to run the land smoothly. At the very top of the feudal system was the king. He presided over the land he ruled, directing and controlling what happened in his kingdom.
