Best Answer

Kings and Queens in northern Europe were very power hungry so they would bribe their rivals with land, throw them into prison, threaten to go to war, or simply cut their heads off.

There were several ways for them to gain power. One way was marriage. When a woman married her lands and assets went to the husband and nobility used this to gain lands. Getting more land meant more power and resources. War was also another method to gain power and lands. Land was the main way to become more powerful. Sending ships to explore was also a way to gain power, riches, and establish colonies which brought in more resources to the mother country.

Why doesn't the Queen have any power any more?

Firstly, ask yourself this... why is the queen in power? Kings and queens are of "royal blood", they are typically chosen by a God to rule a country. That is why when the King and Queen have a son or a daughter, they are called prince and princess. They will grow to be Kings and Queens. If one of these prince or princesses is a serial killer psycho then the whole country is SOL. We are living in the 21st century and we no longer believe in that kind of rulers. There have been Kings and Queens in the past who have murdered their people and caused more suffering then good. Kings and Queens are iconic now, but they FORTUNATELY contain no power.
