How did Louis's treatment of the nobles reflect his belief in his absolute authority?

Louis XIV's treatment of the nobles exemplified his belief in absolute authority through his centralization of power and the establishment of the court at Versailles. By requiring nobles to live at Versailles, he kept them under his watchful eye, diminishing their influence and ensuring their reliance on him for status and favor. This spectacle of grandeur not only reinforced his dominance but also served to highlight the divine right of kings, as he positioned himself as the ultimate authority in both governance and culture. Through this manipulation, he effectively showcased the supremacy of the monarchy over the traditional power of the aristocracy.
