I am not sure where you are getting your information. The European kings from 500 to the 1900s were in power through a complicated mix of factors that had nothing at all to do with the Divine Right of Kings, which came to the fore with a few absolutist monarchs of the 1600s, most of whom were Anglican. Don’t forget the Roman Church was pretty well ensconced with the Roman Empire until all of a sudden these barbarians come in and appoint themselves kings, dukes, etc. The Church was not terribly successful in shaping the political situation.
