There are not really that many cases of major conflicts between cities and feudal lords. Mostly this was because cities got all kinds of charters and right over time directly from kings that put them out of the grip of most feudal lords. They operated quite independently in terms of political and econonomic power from the feudal nobles who mostly had their power base in rural areas. If there were (mostly minor) clashes at all, it was usually about cities' rights and privileges or over the appointment of magistrates that the neighboring lord did not like.
In medieval Europe, there were different types of nobles, such as monarchs (kings and queens), dukes and duchesses, earls and countesses, barons and baronesses, knights, and lords/ladies. These titles represented varying levels of social status, power, and land ownership within the feudal system.

The nobles had to give their kings oaths of loyalty and had to support the king with military assistance and taxes. They had to provide farming land and places to live to the serfs on their manors, along with protection. They had to support and obey the Church.
