Who are absolute monarchs? Kings or queens who held all power within their states’ boundaries They believed god created the monarchy and monarchs were God’s representative on earth (Divine Right)

Louis XIV Louis became king at 4 years old when his father died Louis grew to hate the nobility, because of the riots that tore France apart during his childhood

How Louis XIV was an Absolute Ruler? “L’ètat, e’est moi”-------“I am the state” Louis’ view was that he and the state were one in the same He became the most powerful ruler in French history

Louis attacks the Nobility Louis excluded the nobility from the French councils He increased the power of government agents called intendants The intendants collected taxes

Louis’ Legacy When Louis died in 1715, people cheered! Mixed legacy: Positive: France ranked above all other European nations in art & literature. Also considered the military leader of Europe Negative: Constant warfare & the construction of the Palace of Versailles put France into staggering debt. Plus the poor were burdened by high taxes
