In the feudalism, monarchs and townspeople established a kind of alliance which benefited both. On the one hand, townspeople were allowed to trade and established business inside the kingdom. The monarchy warranted suitable conditions for the traders, which resulted in increased business and therefore an increase in the quality of life for townspeople. On the other hand, monarchs earned financial aids from the townspeople through taxes. Moreover, trough these actions the monarchy achieved more loyalty and increased control over its domains.
