In the Early Middle Ages there was a weakening of central government and power became fragmented, with rural aristocrats becoming entrenched in castles and growing military strength by enlisting the support of the knights in exchange for grants of rural lands (fiefs). These were like private armies. The Roman Empire had a centralised imperial government and a professional imperial army run by the state.
