What is the origin of the European tradition of royalty?

While there are many European Kings, several regions of Europe were titled "Duchy" or "Grand Duchy" such as Lithuania, Warsaw, or Finland while remaining sovereign. The late Roman Empire did divide their territory into regions entitled duchies, but some became kingdoms and some did not. What determined whether the head of a medieval state was entitled to the status of king/queen or duke/duchess?
