The first of the absolute monarchs is often considered to be Louis XIV of France, who reigned from 1643 to 1715. He famously declared, "L'état, c'est moi" ("I am the state"), embodying the principles of absolute monarchy where the king holds supreme authority and power is centralized in the crown. His reign established the model for absolute monarchy in Europe, characterized by the consolidation of power and the diminishing influence of the nobility.
