France
Louis VI, “the Fat”,
1108-1137
- brave soldier, very popular - tried
hard to reduce the power of the nobles - by granting charters (permission to form towns/cities) he
began the process of developing cities, which started growing for the first time in 7-8
centuries - kings had relied on their nobles, Louis began the practice of getting help from lesser
nobles and the middle class
