Why did medieval kings become more powerful during the 1200's?

Peasants rebelled against nobles.

The Church left England.

They used money paid by townspeople to hire armies.

They sent people from towns back to feudal estates.

Mediaeval kings spent a lot of time travelling around their realm from place to place. One of the duties of a vassal was offering hospitality to the king and his entourage if he chose to pay a visit - which could get very expensive, since kings always travelled with a large number of guards, ministers, servants and companions befitting their status. Indeed, one of the purposes of such visits was to make sure the subjects were reminded who their king was, and to give him the opportunity to inspect things in person.
