Monarchs exerted their power in feudal times primarily by deciding which nobles would be granted land. This gave them significant control over the distribution of power and wealth within their realms, establishing a hierarchical structure that was essential to the feudal system.

While they also had various ways to influence the lives of serfs, require military service from lords, and take portions of crops, the primary assertion of their power came through land grants to nobles.
