The powers of popes and kings differed primarily in their domains of authority and influence. Popes held spiritual and religious power, claiming authority over the Church and its followers, often positioning themselves as God's representative on Earth.

This dynamic frequently led to conflicts, such as the Investiture Controversy, where disputes arose over the appointment of church officials and the balance of power between the monarchy and the papacy. Ultimately, the interplay between royal and papal power shaped the political landscape of medieval Europe.
