Most medieval governments were monarchies, theoretically run by kings or other monarchs. Sometimes monarchies were actually run by regents or people with titles like, "Mayor of the Palace."

In some places, there were nominally monarchs, but the real power lay with feudal lords of lower levels than the monarchs.

Bureaucrats were very important in some monarchies, as were military leaders.

In some places the Church leaders were very important, and in some places, bishops or abbots were the actual rulers.

There were republican cities and city states, and while some of these approached democracy, some were controlled by guild organizations.

Leadership in some parts of Europe was tribal or based on clans.
