Historians sometimes refer to the late fifteenth century as "new monarchies" or "Renaissance states" because in the renaissance time new discoveries had been affected by the first rulers.The historians usually refer to the monarchies of the late fifteenth century as Renaissance states because of the type of governance in these states.
In Italy most of its city-states ceased to be republics and power was taken over by the personal rule of lords. Most city-states became lordships (signorie). In the rest of Europe the monarchies were consolidating their power. Previously kings were challenged by the aristocracy. In this period the monarchies developed strong central bureaucracies which strengthened the kings' control over their kingdoms.
The Renaissance began in Italian city-states, where middle-class citizens grew to challenge the traditional powers of feudal Europe.
There was no single political system in use in Europe during the Middle Ages, though most countries were monarchies. Most medieval monarchies had a crown left to a single heir, usually, but not always, the eldest son. There were hereditary monarchies, in which the kingdom was divided among the heirs when the king died. The Kingdom of the Franks is one example. There were monarchies in which the monarch was elected. The Holy Roman Empire was one of these. There were feudal monarchies, in which the central government was weak and the local lords strong. The Kingdom of France was like this for much of its medieval existence. Some medieval governments tended toward being absolute monarchies, in which the king had all the power, though most of these came along after the Middle Ages. The Byzantine Empire retained the old Roman senatorial system until the 13th century. Iceland had a parliament whose seats were possessions a person could sell or leave to his heirs. There were monarchies other than kingdoms and empires, Catalonia, which headed by a count until one of the counts decided he was really a king. For much of the Middle Ages, most of Wales was like this as well. There was a territory headed by the Pope, called the Papal States. There were kingdoms that were no bigger than counties. The early medieval Kingdom of Kent is an example. There were independent republics, such as the Republic of Venice and the Republic of Genoa. Within some of the countries, there were many different political systems in use. In The Holy Roman Empire, there were kingdoms, counties of various types, free cities with republican governments and others.

They didnt sue most of the time. In Medieval France peasants rebelled againsed the feudal system (lords, vassals etc.)....this led to the installation of a new government sysytem called a monarchy where a king holds the majority, if not all the power. P\\
During the Renaissance, democracy was not widespread as most governments were still monarchies or city-states ruled by oligarchies. However, there were some city-states like Florence and Venice where elements of democracy, such as popular assemblies or councils, were incorporated into the political system. These city-states provided opportunities for civic engagement and participation in decision-making, laying the groundwork for future democratic movements.
It depends when and where you set the play. If you set it in the middle ages, they would have had medieval food. If you set it in the renaissance, it would be renaissance food. If you set it in India, they might have had pappadums, if in Japan, sushi, if in the United States, hamburgers and fries.
Many city sates were the starting point in cultural ideas. Many philosophers from city states brought back education from Greek, early Egyptian, and even Mesopotamian times. Art in the renaissance was more about normal people, not just religion as it had been in Medieval times.
I am not sure this question can be answered precisely. There might have been 100 or more countries of the Middle Ages, each with its own list of rulers, and each with its own government. There were many kinds of government. These included feudal monarchies, elective monarchies, absolute monarchies, monarchies with parliaments, republican city states, the papal states, and governments run by monastics organizations. Within each kind, there could be many varieties.
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.
As a result of the Renaissance, many European political powers were able to centralize their control over their territories through strong monarchies. This period also saw advancements in military technology and tactics, allowing states to expand their territories through conquest and colonization. Additionally, the Renaissance brought about increased diplomatic relations between European powers, leading to alliances and treaties that reshaped the political landscape of the continent.
Medieval times ended in the mid 16th century AD/CE when the nation states arose. The term "the Middle Ages" refers to the period of European history from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West (5th century) to the fall of Constantinople (1453).
