Louis 14.
Part 1.
In the
middle of the17th century the most (1 characterize)form of government in Europe
was absolute (2 monarch). The archetype of this kind of ruling was Louis 4,
King of
France (1643-1715) , whom many of the other (3 rule) took as their model.
Before his reign for much of the first half of the 17th century,
France had been ruled by two chief ministers. Louis13 (1601-1643) had given
great power to Cardinal Richelieu, and when Louis died , his widow acted as
regent for his son Louis 14, then a child. Nevertheless a lot of power was in
the hands of another chief minister, Cardinal Mazarini.
When
Mazarini died in 1661, the 23-year-old Louis declared that henceforth he would
rule (4 personal). He did so until his death in 1715. His (5 persistent) owed a
great deal to his belief (6 common) held at that time, that kings ruled by
divine right, receiving their power from God, and so must rule (7 just) in
person. This belief is summed up in the (8 fame)words attributed to Louis 14 “I
am the state”.
Louis had a
number of capable ministers, but made it clear that they were his (9 serve) and
(10 depend) on his favour . He also adopted the Sun as his (11 person) emblem
and commissioned (12 art) and (13 write) to (14 glory) him as the Sun King.

Louis 14.
Part 2.
Louis` (1
identify) of himself with the state was most (2 evidence) in his foreign
policy. He was always (3 jealously) of his personal reputation or glory which
he considered to be (4 separable) from that of France. Louis ` main concern ,
however , was France`s (5 vulnerable), and for this reason he had great
fortresses built along the (6 east) and northeastern borders. Between 1667 and
1713 Louis fought a series of increasingly large-scale and (7 expense) wars in
an effort to (8 strength) France`s (9 front) and assert his own prestige and
(10 dynasty) rights.
When Louis
died in 1715, he left France (11 territorial) strengthened, but at a heavy (12
economy) and social cost. French influence in Europe was great. Other rulers
envied Louis` authority in France and his success abroad. Those who had not
already introduced (13 absolute) measures copied his bureaucracy, his tax
system, his standing army, his academies, and his style of personal rule. In
(14 imitate) of Versailles many set up court in great new places away from
their capitals, and (15 France) fashions and manners , were (16 wide) imitated.
