At the beginning of the first millennia europe there was at the dawn of a new form of government. People were living in closer communities instead of camps in the middle of the woods. They were moving in closer so priests or blacksmiths could be closer at hand. This was a net positive for european societies. One reason is that it formed a better community. The second reason is that it formed a better government. It included kings, counts and vassals which isn't a democracy but it wasn't necessarily a monarchy.
Closer knit societies are good for several reasons. One everyone knows more people. Less people are isolated and with more people a community is more three dimensional. Another reason is that blacksmiths, tailors, priests and doctors are easier to access. This way people could have their necessities that could make life easier and sometimes save lives.
The other reason that the new government was a net positive was that it was a clear system of government. There were just three levels and it was all somewhat equal. Everyone was controlling and controlled by someone.
