It's hard from a historical point of view - really, just about impossible if you have any kind of fidelity to the truth - but more or less easy from an artistic point of view.

This isn't even an ideological or a partisan point. Just that art is always picking and selecting and eliding and framing things - moments in times and places. If you're telling the story of a medieval village, or some backcountry feud, or something, the historical reality of that place is obviously hugely influenced by the broader European system, but the immediate reality in that village is the thing that you're depicting.

Okay, sure, if you're writing a story about people living in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. How many fantasy stories are about villages in the middle of nowhere, and not castles and royalty? Royalty should be especially involved in international affairs for obvious reasons. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that when we're talking about POC in medieval Europe and the fantasy inspired from it, we have something majorly skewed.
