Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
France from 1598 to 1789 is traditionally considered an absolutist country!. The heyday of absolutism being Louis XIV's rule (1648-1715)!.

Portugal after its independence (1640)

To a point pre-Civil War England was absolutist a period ended for good by the Glorious Revolution!.

Any other example would be abusing the term!. Famously, the Pope after the Gregorian reform is often mentioned as the first absolutist monarch but it is a bit of a stretch!. Medieval Sicily and Portugal can also be mentionned as well as 18th century Prussia, Russia, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Naples kingdom etc but these are usually described as the enlighted despots!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

France under Louis the 16th
