Best Answer

Kings got their wealth from taxes that were paid to them. During most of the Middle Ages, most of the nations of Europe were ruled according to the feudal system. In the feudal system, the king divided his land among nobles (lords). These lords had control over the land that they were given, and they had peasants farm their land (these peasants were serfs). In return for the lord giving the serf protection, shelter, and food, the serf had to farm the lord's land. These crops belonged to the lord, as well as a portion of the crops belonging to anyone else in the lord's territory. These crops made the lord wealthy, and in turn, a portion of them went to the king.
