How did the lack of centralized government and legal codes force early medieval kings, like Charlemagne, to rely on violence to maintain order?

It meant the king was controlled by his knights, who wanted to fight.
It meant there was no way to bring vassals under the king’s control.
It meant there were no legal codes, since no one made laws.
It meant the people had to carry out violent revolts.
