He was significant for a few reasons: Government control - by building the palace at Versailles and holding court there, Louis was able to control the policy-making in absolute France.

In 1685, Louis, a devout Catholic, revoked the Edict of Nantes which had allowed freedom of worship to French Protestants (Huguenots). Around 200,000 Huguenots, many of them skilled craftsmen, fled to Holland and England.

Louis XIV was able to use the religious idea of the Divine Right of Kings to legitimize his rule.

Louis XIV subscribed to the Divine Right of Kings which stated that:

  • God's power was absolute
  • Kings were God's representatives so had absolute power
  • Kings did not have to answer to anyone

In asserting this right, he ruled without having a Chief Minister. It seemed to work for him however, because he was a relatively good king who modernized French taxation laws, improved trade and encouraged art.

In conclusion, Louis believed that he had the right to do whatever he wanted because he was God's chosen representative to rule France.
