Answer:
After Mazarin died in 1661, Louis chose to rule alone and further consolidate his power. Louis believed in the "divine right of kings," that the king's right to rule came directly from God and could not be bound by the will of the people, the aristocracy, and in some cases, the church itself.

Louis XIV Assumes Control of France
After Mazarin's death in 1661, Louis XIV broke with tradition and astonished his court by declaring that he would rule without a chief minister. He viewed himself as the direct representative of God, endowed with a divine right to wield the absolute power of the monarchy.
