Louis XIV and the clergy

While King Louis XIV was in power he forced people to convert to catholicism. Not only did he do that but he offered money to those who did convert. He would send troops to take over households that were protestant, in order to get them to convert to catholicism. The way he did this was smart but at the same time it was wrong because the people were not able to believe in what they wanted. He forced protestents to leave to go to other countries. He was an unfair king who wanted everything his way.
