What is the time period known as the Age of Enlightenment?
Most consider the Age of Enlightenment to have ended with the start of the French Revolution in 1789. For more than a century before that the discoveries of scientists, such as Galileo, and ideas of philosophers, such as Rene Descartes, had led people into a rejection of the automatic respect for kings and the Christian priesthood that had been common in Europe during and since the Middle Ages. All nations contributed to the Enlightenment agenda, but the French led the way during the 18th century. The writings of Denis Diderot, Voltaire and D'Alembert, all French, provided the material for the supporters of the Enlightenment to take the argument to the traditionalists. These writers lived in the reign of King Louis the Fifteenth of France (1715-1774).
What were the main goals of the medieval monarchs?
First and foremost, the medieval monarch had to work on staying alive, because there were any number of other people out there who might want the throne and be willing to do what it took to throw him out. Many monarchs were almost obsessed with the idea of producing an heir who could provide their countries with stability when they died. The strong desire to produce an heir shows that most monarchs were genuinely interested in providing their countries with stable governments. Having a number of mistresses was also an object for a lot of monarchs, but never had the importance of legitimate heirs. Some monarchs were powerfully motivated to enlarge the areas they controlled. Some of these were among the greatest. Some monarchs were very interested in the well being of their subjects, and worked hard at improving education, care for sick people, and charity for the poor. There were kings and queens who were recorded to have given food to poor people every day before they had breakfast themselves. Some monarchs were very interested in promoting trade and crafts. There were a few sadists who just wanted to make life miserable. Fortunately, there seem not to have been many.
