Absolutism in France (FRANCE) Learning Target Students can explain the reign of the absolute king Louis XIV and his affect on the French society

Absolutism in France (FRANCE) F – Four Years Old  King Louis XIII was a weak king (cardinal control)  Cardinal Richelieu was his adviser and he stood against any form of democratic government  Louis XIV, his son, became king at 4 years old  He was too young to rule, he also had a cardinal adviser, Cardinal Mazarin, France became very powerful under the control of these cardinals

Absolutism in France (FRANCE) R – Royal Problem  At 23, Louis wanted to rule alone  Believed in the Divine Right and a state religion (He was a Catholic and ended the Edict of Nantes)  Nobles often ignored him and fought against him with their armies  2 problems: There was no central government or national army

Absolutism in France (FRANCE) A – Attitude Change  Louis appointed officials to collect taxes in France to be given to the central government  He reorganized the French Army and gave uniforms to soldiers to show they belonged  The army increased from 100,000 to 400,000 soldiers  This large army made Louis very powerful

Absolutism in France (FRANCE) N – National Pain  Louis built a second palace at Versailles (10m from Paris)  Took 30 years to complete & 30,000 men  His love for beautiful things was a burden on the French taxpayers  This served as a house for Louis and his nobles (He could now watch over and distract them from politics)

Absolutism in France (FRANCE) C – Cost of War and Luxury  The Taxpayers had to pay for all of this!  He fought many wars to get more land  Wars and luxury drained the French treasury  He referred to himself as the “Sun King” (All of France seemed to revolve around him; he was their “light”)

Absolutism in France (FRANCE) E – End of the Road  At the end of his life, Louis was regretful he had fought so much  He advised his grandson, the future king, to keep peace and ease the burden on the French people  Reigned for 72 years and became the most powerful ruler in Europe.
