explanation: 

Princes become more powerful

• Princes are kings and other rulers
• Agrarian-urban society, monetary economy and cities had several consequences for them:
• - bad: they had little to say about the cities
• - Good 1: they could use money to hire officials
• - Good 2: They could use money to hire mercenaries
• - conclusion: Less dependence on their vassals

fittie between princes and the pope

• - princes had tried to make bisshops their vassals
• - Why?: they couldn't have children
• - The pope wanted to appoint bisshops too
• - fight between the holy Roman emperor and the pope (11th century)
• - In the end: only the pope could appoint bisshops
• - Conclusion: Start of the division between church and state

Centralised government

• We saw that the power of the princes increased
• this is visible in their centralised government:
• - governing  from one place
• Also states developed: Countries with clear borders and the same laws everywhere
• Not everywhere: France: yes. Holy Roman Empire: No. The Netherlands:  big difficulties
