Age of Absolutism Notes

What was Absolutism? Period of time when Europe’s monarchs got stronger. Caused by the Reformation & Age of Exploration. Ref weakens churches, AofE brings in lots of money (mercantilism). Monarchs ruled with absolute power. What does absolute mean…?

Some Absolute Monarchs In your book, look up each of the following monarchs and list what country they ruled as well as two facts about each. Louis XIV ( ) Elizabeth I ( ) Peter the Great ( )

Louis XIV King of France Nickname: The Sun King The absolute monarch! Builds palace of Versailles. We’ll read more about him later.

Elizabeth I Queen of England Henry VIII’s daughter (remember him?) Defeated the Spanish Armada. Built England up into a world power.

Peter the Great Czar of Russia Wanted to Europeanize, modernize Russia. Went in disguise to learn how to build ships in Western Europe.

What was Divine Right theory? Divine Right Theory was the idea that God had chosen the monarch to rule. Monarchs (and the people) believed it during this period. If you question the king, you question God! Kings become the nation. Louis XIV: “L'État, c'est moi!” (The state? That’s me!)

In the space provided on your notes, draw a picture of what absolutism & Divine Right mean.

A Day in the life of Louis XIV With a partner, read the article on a day in the life of Louis XIV. While one person reads the article, the other should fill in the activities the king does throughout his day. Switch roles after each part of the day. After you are done, make sure each of you has the entire day filled in on your paper.
