monarchs then lords then knights then peasents
Added Detail:
As far as I can recall from the sleepy days of history class, the above answer is correct but for more detail:
The Monarchs own large stretches of land. They then lease(?) this land off to lords. The lords own the castles. Then under them are the knights and peasants. The peasants are the ones that slave away in the field to produce food etc. The Knights are peasants(?) that have gone through extensive training. These knights are then used as the Lords personal army.
Each person in the Feudal System received land from a person higher than themselves.
The feudal system is described by the Feudal Pyramid, which has four basic elements, the king, the lords, the common vassals, and the serfs. It is called a pyramid because each layer was supported by a much larger group that supported it, down to the serfs. The term vassal is sometimes applied only to those below the lords, but the lords were vassals.
The Feudal system of the Middle Ages was based on a worldview in which the Earth belonged to God, and each person was born to the place where God wanted him/her. The Catholic Church, in the person of the Pope, was God's representative on Earth, and kings were the ultimate secular authority. All the land in the Kingdom belonged to the king. He portioned land to his vassals, the Dukes, who in turn gave land to Their vassals, the Earls, who, in turn, had vassals, and so on, down to the Serfs, who were bound to the land, and to their Lord. Each vassal was sworn to the service of "his" Lord, and was bound to support him with arms if he was attacked, and with crops. In return, each Lord was responsible for the well-being of his vassal. Each level was the arbitor for the level beneath him. If two Earls had a disagreement, the Duke solved the problem. If two Dukes were fighting, the King decided the case, and when two Kings had a disagreement, they went to the Pope, as God's representative. Each person had a place and a function which were determined by God.
== == Each would have been responsible to his immediate feudal overlord and ultimately to the king.
The feudal system was the primary government system used in Medieval Europe. It existed as somewhat of a branch-like chain of command, where those who are considered part of the system are in control of those directly below them, but serve their liege lord directly above them. At the top of the chain was a king, or someone with a similar title. Below him were what are considered his "vassals". The king granted large amounts of land (feuds) to his vassals in exchange for their services. These services would include paying taxes, supporting him politically, and providing levies for his army. (Levies were certain amounts of soldiers a vassal had promised to his king in times of war). On a smaller scale, a lesser-lord such as a Baron or Count would also create a small-scale feudal system within his own land. He would provide a small piece of land for farming and such to each of his knights, in return for their allegiance to him in wartime.

The feudal system relied on a series of city-states that were each ruled by a lord. However, they would come together as a complete community or country when needed.

In the feudal system, taxes were collected by the lords or nobility from the peasants who worked the land. The peasants were required to provide goods or services in exchange for the protection and use of the land. Each lord had the authority to establish and collect taxes within their own domain.
