There were kings, Queens, Duke, and Knights and other various leaders....... The King gave a Duke a large piece of land.. And the the Duke would then split that land up between several of his favorite knight And all knights would have so many squires to tend to his needs and were in training for knighthood and if a Squire did something good.. He could be commission as a knight by the king and also given a piece of land in some dukedom and pay taxes to the duke who in turn payed taxes to the King in forms of money and food from his dukedom.... Now there would be 10 Dukes who would have a hundred knight who would have thousand of Squires..... And if the King was so far away the Duke could commission someone as a Knight in the Kings name.. And if they lived far away from their King or duke then the Knight could commission his squire to knighthood in the name of his king and duke...................... But according to history all knight were given land as a way to keep them loyal to their King and Duke........................................................................

There sure was! Look at Lancelot, he was the highest ranking knight in the kingdom. Just like there was a pecking order with squires, who of course were lower ranked than knights.

i don't think so, but if a knight ruled over other knights then he would be called something other than a knight, right? like a lord or something.

Knights were simply soldiers of higher status who had the right to carry arms. In Medieval times social rank, Lord, Baron, Earl, etc, dictated who was `in charge`. All landed titles were in the main subjects of the King, who was commander in chief of all national forces. He who held the highest social standing, `ruled` in times of conflict.Peasants owed loyalty to the Squire , who held loyalty to the local Lord, who held loyalty to the Earl, who owed loyalty to the king.
