King Charles II, King Louis XIV: King Of France
Being on Top
“Courage isn 't having the strength to go on, and it is going on when you don 't have strength.” 1 I’m going to talk to you about the different problems that they had to deal with like the public, or having to deal with political problems and war, and IL be showing you how they overcame these problems. Some factors that could pre determine weather or not the ruler will be successful, is his age, personality, previous things he has done, maturity level and possibly religion. I have chosen to talk about, Louis the XIV who was the king of France, King Charles II who was king or Britain and Suleiman the Magnificent, a sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
King Louis XIV: Know as Sun King,
Louis XIV was born in 1638 in the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye to Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. At age 5, Louis XIV was crowned king after the death of his father, Louis the XIII, After the death of his father, Cardinal Mazarin, His god father, gave Louis a full education and as well as introducing Louis XIV into the world of Politics. At this time, his mother Anne, ruled ad regent, and at …show more content…
this time, it was time of the Fronde, The rebellion of Nobility and the people of Paris to rise against the monarch. Up until 1661, Cardinal Mazarin was in full control of the government until his death in 1661, at that point in time; Louis xiv began his personal rule of France, after Louis came to power, he tried to centralize religion of the state, he chose Catholicism, he also declared that he did not want to have a chief advisor so that he could have an absolute monarchy.
Louis the XIV has the longest reign of 72 years and 110 days and he has plenty more to show then just having an Absolute monarch, he has done incredible things in the time he has been the King including what I said earlier, centralize the French government through absolutism, some others are appointing Jean Baptiste Colbert as controller general of the realm to supervise royal taxes, But his biggest successes was building the treaty of Versailles. The palace that was built for him at Versailles, outside Paris, became the model for palaces throughout the continent. It took forty-seven years to build. Versailles was where the royal family of France stayed from 1682 until 1789, when the French Revolution began. Louis XIII had originally built a hunting lodge at the village outside Paris in 1624. Some of Louis failures were that His failure to address the needs of the people led to enraged people and ultimately his violent overthrow by the people. One of the biggest mistakes King Louis XIV ever did was involve France in a lot costly wars, which left the country in huge financial debt, and eventually led France to bankruptcy. Louis XIV died form gangrene. Gangrene can be caused by any number of things, including diabetes, poor blood circulation possibly due to a weak heart or bedsores, or even bacterial infection
Some similarities between king Louise XIV and Suleiman The Magnificent were that they both love to participate in war, another big similarity between the two was that Charles and Louis were both absolute monarchs, another one is that King Charles II and King Louis XIV were in fact family, they were 1ST cousins. Some Differences were that Louis was a catholic and Charles II was a protestant until he was on his deathbed when he decided to become a Catholic. Some similarities between Louis and Suleiman the magnificent is that the were both absolute rulers and were both catholic, also, Suleiman loved to go to war but the difference ids is that he won most of the time and Louise lost most of the time. A difference between all of them is there age of when they became ruler which most likely means that the older you are the wiser you are.
Charles II: Good King: Quite Man
Charles was born in St.
James 's Palace in 1630. His parents Charles I, who ruled the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, and Henrietta Maria, the sister of the French king Louis XIII. Charles was their second son and child, there first child lived less then a day. During the 1640s, when Charles was still a young boy, his father fought Parliamentary and Puritan forces in the English Civil War. After the death of King Charles I in 1649, England became a republic. On 6 February, the Covenanter Parliament of Scotland announced Charles II as King of Great Britain in the seceding of his father. Charles II was king from1649 to 1651, and then after he was exiled he came back and was later king of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1660 to 1685. The New Parliament decided to restore the monarchy and the House of Lords in 1660. They Invited Charles II to become
king. Some of the achievements that were successful for King Charles II was helped found the Royal Society, a scientific group with Sir Isaac Newton, and the Royal Observatory. Charles was the personal patron of Sir Christopher Wren, the architect who helped rebuild London after the Great Fire in 1666. One of his biggest achievements was the fact that he had been exiled in 1649 for four years and managed to get back onto the thorn and hold it for a long period of time. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” 2This is a great quote to use for King Charles because of the fact that he got exiled and managed to get back to the thorn. An obvious failure for king Charles II was getting exiled in the first place, odds are if you are not doing anything wrong then there is no reason to exile someone but on the other hand, if you do get exiled, then that means that you are doing something wrong. “Never in the way, and never out of the way.” 3King Charles II reign was from 29 May 1660 to his untimely death on 6 February 1685. King Charles II suffered a sudden apoplectic fit, the suddenness of his death was curios to people leading them to suspect that he had actually poisoned himself but that was not the case, modern studies show that the symptoms of his illness are similar to uremia (kidney dysfunction). Some of the similarities between all of them is that they were all absolute rulers, there were all catholic except for King Charles, he didn’t become a Catholic until he was on his death bed, some others is they were all married and had kids. Another similarity is that they all died unexpectedly. Some differences between all of them is there age, Suleiman the Magnificent is the oldest of them all which believes me to think that he is also the wisest or them.
Suleiman the Magnificent: Great Leader, Better man. Suleiman was born in Trabzon along the east coast of the Black Sea, in November 1494. At the age of 7, Suleiman was sent away to school to study science, history, literature, theology, and Military in the schools of the Topkapı Palace in İstanbul. The age of seventeen, young Suleiman was appointed as the governor of first Kaffa. After the death of his father Selim I Suleiman entered Constantinople and was put on the throne as the tenth Ottoman Sultan in 1520. Some historians would say that Suleiman the Magnificent admired alexander the great. Suleiman admired the way alexander wanted to build a world empire. Some of Suleiman’s successes were involved with war, Suleiman began a series of military campaign after he was put on the throne. Suleiman managed to take Belgrade in 1521, and Rhodes in 1522. And later had an attack on Vienna in 1529 but did not manage to take it. Suleiman would often say “seated on a golden throne, receive the homage of the viziers and the beys; massacre of 2,000 prisoners; the rain falls in torrents” 4At the time of Suleiman 's death, the Ottoman Empire was one of the world 's foremost powers in Europe. From what I can see from Suleiman’s the magnificent was that he was an all around great king, from conquering half of Europe to lowing taxes, he really didn’t have any quote that really resembles Suleiman in a few words, “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.” 5I think that Suleiman was so scared of failing that he never did, he always made the right decision or move until his death in September 7, 1566, He died while conducting the siege of Szigetvar, his Child succeeded him to the thrown. Some of the similarities between them all are they we all clam headed rulers, they never made a decision based on emotion or other reason, another is they were all catholic at one point except for king Charles II who only became catholic on his death bed, and they were all absolute rulers. Some differences between them is that Suleiman was more successful in thee area of war between the two, and Suleiman had slim to none failures as were for the two other rules had some pretty bug Failures. Suleiman was also the oldest out of the three of them so in that case he is probably the wisest of them. Power is a strong thing to have or be the one to hold, having power can lead to a lot of good thing but also a lot of bad things, if you have power or you are a ruler then people look to you for decision or advice and you will be the one responsible for the outcome of everything that happens to the people or country. Looking at the unique challenges of the ruling class and how they used the resources available at the time to overcome them. “A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” 6So he’s saying someone how has done bad wont confront about it and that he has not but someone how has done a good job but thinks he could do better is a wise me so says William Shakespeare.
