Most kings did not maintain standing armies due to the high costs associated with salaries, supplies, and equipment, which could strain royal finances. Instead, they relied on feudal systems where local lords provided troops in times of war, allowing kings to mobilize forces without the burden of permanent military upkeep. Additionally, standing armies could pose a threat to a king's power, as they might become loyal to their commanders rather than the crown. This reliance on temporary forces ensured greater control and stability for the monarchy.
