How did Louis XI-Vs palace at Versailles impact the power of French nobles?

Louis XIV's palace at Versailles significantly diminished the power of French nobles by centralizing authority and creating a spectacle of royal grandeur that drew nobles to the court. By requiring them to spend time at Versailles, he kept them occupied with courtly life, thus reducing their influence in their own regions. Additionally, the elaborate rituals and hierarchy at Versailles emphasized the king's absolute power, making the nobles more dependent on his favor for status and privileges. This shift effectively reinforced the monarchy's dominance over the nobility in France.
