Answer 2

the monarchs are basically the descendants of the biggest bullies who managed to overcome other bullies and rule armies who conquered land.

using their armies they  managed to subdue their own people telling them it's for their own good.

the priesthood joined them very quickly, knowing it will enhance their power to side with the big bully and so they invented "divine right of kingship".

and so was born this unholy matrimony between monarchy and religion.
