The Medieval Times brought along a new strategy of organization. Power came with the land you owned. The king or queen, however, didn't have much power. He was just a person to look to in times of trouble. The Pope pretty much had all the power. The Church was what unified Medieval Europe, so people looked to the Pope to solve their problems. The power of the Clergy increased a lot during those times.
