YES. Louis XIV is usually held up as the quintessential example of an absolute monarchy. He weakened the power of the nobility, strengthened his direct power over locals, ran every aspect of the Kingdom of France, directed and controlled all religious activity in France, and finally, Louis XIV saw no distinction between his person and the Kingdom of France as a whole.

Louis XIV is a perfect example of an absolute monarch because all decisions made by him were law. However, he was not a complete totalitarian and treated the middle class quite nicely.
