Only to God. They believed they ruled by Divine Right.
The age of absolutism was 1550-1770 CE. During this time period European monarchs established absolute rule based on claims of divine right.
It was the "so called" Divine Right of the Monarchs.
Absolute monarchs disliked Parliament because they viewed it as a challenge to their authority and power. They believed that their divine right to rule should not be questioned or constrained by a legislative body. Parliaments often sought to limit the monarch's powers, demand accountability, and represent the interests of the nobility and common people, which conflicted with the absolute rule that monarchs aimed to maintain. This tension often led to conflicts and power struggles between the monarchy and parliamentary institutions.
Absolute monarchs of medieval Europe typically employed methods such as centralizing authority, controlling the nobility, and using military force to preserve their power. However, they did not commonly use democratic processes or popular consent, as these would contradict the principles of absolute monarchy. Instead, they relied on hereditary rule and divine right to legitimize their authority.
