> Events like the French Revolution proved them wrong:

To be fair nobody took it that seriously before either. Cities, regions, nobles etc. were constantly trying to challenge the king and his/her authority and protect/expand their rights and privileges.

It’s just that before the French Revolution they usually just wanted to extract additional privileges from the monarch or limit his powers (or in the worst case replace). The same thing happened in the French Regime before it got slightly out of hand..

e.g. even Louis XIV constantly had to fight the courts to force through his new laws (and was almost deposed in quasi-revolution(similar to the English civil war just without the religious element) at the beginning of his reign)

Okay. Also, similarly, the Magna Carta in England.
