• Absolute monarchs believed they ruled by divine right
• Monarchs received power from God, must not be challenged
• 1500 through 1700s, absolute monarchs tried to impose their will across much of Europe, lands beyond
• In Spain, Charles struggled to keep empire under control
Imposing Their Will
• 1516, teenaged Charles became King Charles I of Spain
• Inexperienced, but had one kingly trait—as member of ancient, powerful Hapsburg family, prepared to rule
• Absolute monarch, ruler whose power not limited by having to consult with nobles, common people or their representatives
Kingly Trait
