in order of the least powerful to greatest:
Knight
Baronet/Baronetess
Baron/Baroness
Viscount/Viscountess
Earl,Count /Countess
Marquess/Marchioness
Duke/Duchess
Prince/Princess
ummm im pretty sure that in the medaeval times for a while there was mostly barons and the occasional duke and princes.
you would say "my lord or my lady" or "milord or milady" for all the titles, except the duke or duchess

Good luck. The system that they used was called the Feudal System. For the most part, positions were given and taken by the whim of the King or Queen depending on who was reining at the time. The King was the ruler of all, unless of course someone bigger and badder could take his throne away. Murder and intrigue inorder to move your position in life in the upward position was a daily fact of life in Medieval Times.
