A:
Eary Christianity did not affect the kingdoms of Europe, since Christian Europe formed part of the Roman Empire and the Emperor Constantine and his successors considered themselves the supreme pontiff of Christianity.
In the eighth century, after the end of the western empire, a papal official called Christophorous completed a task of forgery which neatly transferred the temporal crown from the emperor to the pope. Now known as the 'Donation of Constantine', the document implied that the first Christian emperor, Constantine, had given the pope great powers throughout the western empire, then retired to Constantinople to rule the eastern empire. In this forgery, all judges as well as bishops were subject to the bishop of Rome.
Successive popes used the 'Donation' to justify acquisition of the papal states, temporal power and the right to impose their wills on kings throughout Europe.
