    Monarchy is a form of government where the power is held by a single ruler, usually a king or queen. Over time, some monarchies began to threaten the power of the Christian Church. This occurred because monarchs sought to consolidate their authority and centralize power, often at the expense of the Church. They challenged the Church's influence by asserting control over religious appointments, taxing the clergy, and even establishing their own state religions. This power struggle between monarchy and the Church led to conflicts and tensions throughout history.
