Absolutism in  France under Louis XIII and his prime-minister, Cardinal Richelieu: the centralisation of power with the support of the church and the subjugation of nobility. Louis XIV's reign as the highest point of absolutism practice. Versailles as the symbol of royal absolute power.

Jean Bodin, Common Wealth - the foundation of absolutism as the dominant ideology.
