#38 - The Life & Times of King Louis XIV

Today we’re going to be talking about a man who in his time was
one of the most powerful men in the world. He had a huge impact
on French history. He had lavish tastes, he was a control freak,
he loved the arts and believed himself chosen by God to rule over
millions of people. You might have guessed who I’m talking about
by now. It is the only and only Louis XIV, the Sun King.


Louis, also known as the "God given one", was arguably one of the
greatest Kings of France, certainly one of the most remembered.
Inheriting the throne at just four years old, he was a
Machiavellian puppet master whose legacy is evident in the France
of today, long after its citizens disposed of his heirs. He was a
fascinating character who lived an incredible life, one of
history’s longest ruling and most iconic monarchs. 


Come with us as we step back in time and dive into the life and
times of Louis XIV and share fascinating facts about his daily
routine, the rules of living at Versailles, his fashion sense,
romantic life and more!
