Goal

Explain how Louis XIV could hold absolute power

Kings want more power

In the Middle Ages kings need nobles to help rule their land

• Nobles are very powerful: they have castles and armies

Kings want more power

Since the Late Middle Ages kings tried to decrease the power of the nobles (and increase their own)​

• With the rise of cities and trade came more money --> taxes
  

1. Kings can hire more soldiers --> more power​
2. Kings employ government officials to help govern
