Did kings hoard all the wealth? I thought kings had a monopoly on violence, not necessarily wealth

You need massive amounts of wealth to gain and maintain a monopoly on violence. So they did both.

Also if you possess a monopoly on violence wealth is not difficult to obtain

And once you have that wealth you NEED a monopoly on violence to maintain it, which requires more wealth, and so on.
