Absolute Monarch Dialogue Complete the following task using specific information gained from class as well as your absolute monarch trading card. This assignment will be collected at the end of class. Objective: Create a 20 line dialogue between your absolute monarch (the ruler you researched for our trading card activity) and Louis XIV. The dialogue should be prefaced with a 3-4 sentence introduction in which you describe the context in which they are hanging out. For example: Philip decided to pick Louis up is his most prized vessel of the entire Spanish Armada and they set sail for… Be creative – you can also place them in a present day location such as Lexington High, Fenway Park, or any other location that you think they would enjoy. Think about where they would want to be and why they would meet there. During their discussion, the two individuals should address the following items (but they are not limited to these): •

ONE incident or policy that they disagree on and WHY o For example: Akbar may disagree with Louis XIV revoking the Edict of Nantes. What would he say? How would Louis respond to defend himself?



TWO aspects of their rule that they agree on and WHY o For example: Philip II may find common ground on the “divine right of kings”. What would they say to each other?



TWO pieces of advice that your ruler can offer Louis XIV to rule his kingdom more effectively o These should be words of wisdom that your ruler has gained from experience. What has he or she experienced as an absolute ruler that Louis could learn from? Explain through the dialogue.

Include any other information that you think the two rulers would want to chat about. The final copy should be written on a separate sheet of paper and handed in at the end of class.
