I recommend Gary Gygax's Living Fantasy as the definitive description of medieval/renaissance-type social structures in a D&D context.

Well it’s not just how many nobles are needed, but how many factions are there, After all there are always those who have power and those who want more. Generally factions are based on noble families with deep roots in all sides.

Actually your user name brings up an interest point in that besides the estates of the nobility there were the clerical estates held by Prelates under Papal authority. There was often significant tension between the more worldly Bishops and the territorial nobility.

How this might work in a polytheistic system is anyones guess...
