9.2 AUTHORITARIAN MONARCHIES AND SOCIETY
1 THE MOST POWERFUL MONARCHIES
The authoritarian monarchies of 15th and 16th-century
European kingdoms evolved from medieval feudal monarchies.

Monarchs were frequently involved in wars with other kings

permanent royal armies
so they did not have to depend on the nobility, the Church or the cities.

Origin of the modern state:
Middle class and the lower nobility also began to work for the monarchy
