France in the seventeenth century was during the reign of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. There were two figures who were not only important in Europe at that time, but also had a profound influence on the historical development of France and Europe. These two people are Richelieu and Louis XIV. Their policies are directed in two directions: first, to consolidate the status of the royal family and increase its power; second, to improve France's international (European) status and fight against the Habsburg royal family. . Under the guidance of this policy, the domestic political system is the so-called absolute dictatorship. Louis XIV called himself the Sun King, and his famous saying was I am the country. During the Louis XIV period, the feudal lords were attacked, but they were by no means as despotic as the absolute despotism expressed.
