The 18th century saw the arrival of a new idea in the southwest: the Enlightenment. Many princes were excited by it, but above all, this was the era of the freethinkers. They began to question the prevailing order and challenged people to think for themselves. Things that had been considered truths for centuries were now being called into question. But it was still the princes who decided how far criticism could go.
