Crown Authority

Crown Authority is the rather straightforward term for how much authority a monarch (the crown, as it is sometimes referred to) has over the various matters of kingdom. It most often refers to the Liege-Vassal relationship between the king and his feudal subjects, but can refer to the relationship with the church or the burghers. A kingdom with Limited Crown Authority typically has a weak central government, and the King is limited to his lands and his vassals will be largely autonomous. A kingdom with Absolute Crown Authority will be the opposite, and will have a powerful central government. The King often extends various penalties and restrictions on his vassals in a kingdom with Absolute Crown Authority, the king himself will often be referred to as an Absolutist Monarch. Often, kingdoms will be in the middle of the scale between Absolute and Limited.
