Story
The collapse of the Carolingian Empire of Charles the Great led to a breakdown in central authority and an extended era of political fragmentation. The beginning of the revival in royal power dates to the reign of Louis VI, and the medieval French monarchy reached its height under Philip IV. A period of decline was arrested by Charles VII’s victory over the English in the mid-15th century which saw France emerge as the most powerful monarchy in Christendom by the end of the Middle Ages.

Story
Innocent III was one of the most powerful of the medieval popes. He exerted a strong influence over the states of Europe, claiming supremacy over all of Europe's kings. This claim to temporal power over the Christian world allowed him to increase the size of the Papal States, and at the same time, he built a web of political alliances between the Papacy and several Catholic monarchies throughout Europe.

Story
In the middle ages, conditions in Italy were favorable for the growth of independent city-states. Cities like Naples and Venice developed their own government under their local dukes, and when Charlemagne's empire dissolved, the towns of northern Italy were left to themselves under the rule of their bishops. The Venetians were granted trading privileges at Constantinople in return for services which their ships rendered to the Byzantines.
