Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During and after the Hundred Years' War, the monarchs of England, France, and Spain worked to consolidate and centralize their power within their respective kingdoms. This period saw the strengthening of the absolute monarchy, where the monarch held virtually unchecked power, and the weakening of the power of the nobility. Constitutional monarchy did not become a widespread concept until much later, and while human rights were discussed, they were not yet an established part of political doctrine. While there were still regional loyalties among the nobles, they were not a significant threat to the power of the monarchs.
