The reign of Louis XIV is considered the greatest in French history. Louis XIV placed a Bourbon on the Spanish throne, until then the main French enemy, thus ending centuries of rivalry with that European country that went back to the time of Charles I.

The most lasting result of the reign was the development of administrative absolutism. The state obtained a power of intervention, decision and initiative that subjected all subjects with progressive effectiveness to an authority exercised in the name of the king, but which actually came from the Council and its ministries and which the mayors applied in the provinces . The provincial and municipal institutions lost much of their autonomy to the benefit of monarchical centralism.
