Late Middle Ages Outline Political Institutions ? Decentralized Government ---> Centralized Government As a result of the Decline of Feudalism, (because trade routes opened, people ran away from the manor, etc.) after the crusades, and decline of the Catholic Church, kings began the process of recentralizing power. They had to take away power from the church and nobles to begin the process. They did this by: Taxing the church and nobles The church and nobility never paid taxes due to their extensive amount of land they owned. The king moved to try and force them to pay taxes The king built armies He created independent armies so he wouldn?t be dependent on his vassals (reason to how the king lost his authority in the beginning) More efficient/ centralized government
