It depends on the King or Queen, but all claimed to be chosen by God. Their religion actually gave them their authority so they generally took such things very seriously.

AnswerDifferent monarchs reacted differently. Chinese kings even welcomed Christian and Buddhist missionaries at first, allowing them to seek converts among the people who followed the earlier traditional religion, Confucianism and Daoism. Christian kings tended to react more harshly.

Kathleen Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, said, "Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword." In the year 782 alone, the Frankish king Charlemagne reputedly beheaded forty five hundred Saxons who resisted his campaign of forced conversion to Christianity. Later, the Spanish monarchs instituted the Spanish Inquisition to deal with those even suspected of secretly being Jews or Muslims.
