how did the relationship of the church and government change from late roman times and medieval times until n?
need some help guys
until now*
Constantine and the later Roman Emperors involved themselves in the Church: resolving theological disputes, appointing bishops etc. In the middle ages, kings were not directly involved in the Church. However, the Church often benefited from close relations with the king e.g. the monasteries and church estates were exempted from royal taxes. In turn, the church provided moral justification for the divine right to rule. Wealthy kings often bought their favorites the papacy.

On the death of Pope Innocent VIII on July 25, 1492, the three likely candidates for the Papacy were cardinals Borja, Ascanio Sforza and Giuliano della Rovere. While there was never substantive proof of simony, the rumour was that Borja, by his great wealth, succeeded in buying the largest number of votes, including that of Sforza, whom, popular rumor had it, he bribed with four mule-loads of silver.[2] According to some historians, however, Borja had no need of such an unsubtle exchange - the benefices and offices granted Sforza for his support would be worth considerably more than four mule-loads of silver, and despite his moral failings, he had gained a reputation as a competent administrator. John Burchard, the conclave's master of ceremonies and a leading figure of the papal household under several popes, recorded in his diary that the 1492 conclave was a particularly expensive campaign. Della Rovere was bankrolled to the cost of 200,000 gold ducats by the King of France, with another 100,000 supplied by the Republic of Genoa.
