Would nobles be vassals of the king in the middle ages?
Whether or not a noble was a vassal of the king depended on the rank of the noble and the location. In the middle ages every noble was a vassal except the king. However, not all were vassals of the king. The top nobles or counts were vassals of the king. They had nobles under them. Those nobles had to obey their counts but did not have to obey the king. So a count could and frequently did join a civil war against a king.When William the Conqueror conquered England, he not only made his barons vassals to the king, but he also made the entire population vassals of the king. Thus in England the entire population consisted of the king's vassals. l

Could a vassal also be a noble?
A king chose the highest order of vassals. They were the peers, and they had titles. The peers, who could be dukes, counts or earls, barons, and so forth, chose their own vassals at least part of the time, perhaps their overlords chose for them. In this way, a feudal pyramid was constructed from the highest person in authority to the lowest. Vassals were required to give allegiance and support to their lords. The lords gave them land in exchange. And this also was operated in the same feudal pyramid. In theory the king could elevate anyone to any station outside the church, and often inside the church.
