France under the Absolutism of Louis XIV. Case Study

      Аннотация: It has been talked about absolutism in historiography, as system in general and the French one in particular. This system had a long life, despite the vicissitudes that followed it. It survived the time because people were used to it & the monarchical spur kept the system alive. French monarchy attracts humanity with its perfection and that was one of the many reasons, including the special figure of Louis XIV, that made me do this research. Louis was worshiped by everyone as "God on earth" and all over Europe. When Louis XIV died, it was said in Europe that: "The king is dead". Here it was understood why it was being talked about. In order to reach Louis XIV, it must be understood the structure of absolutism from his predecessors. The work is based on a rich resource basis of Roland Mousnjese, Francois Lebrese, Hybert Mertiriese who have been a model and guide for doing this research.
