There was only one organization that had broad authority over most of Western Europe during the Middle Ages, which was the Church. You should understand, however, that the authority of the Church was always limited by secular authority and internal division, and was very often challenged by the various emperors and kings, so to call it the central authority is not entirely accurate.

Who obtained power when there was no authority in medieval Europe?

During periods of no centralized authority in medieval Europe, such as after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, local nobles and feudal lords often obtained power. They established their own territories and maintained control through military strength and alliances. The feudal system emerged, where loyalty and service were exchanged for protection and land.
