What I loved about Louis was his ability to never let anyone know what he was thinking. When Ideas were brought to him, he would simply say we shall see. Then whatever idea he chose, happened.

As a frenchman, i am very surprised to see so many non french people having such great interest at this period of history of France! Most of them seem to be fascinated by king Louis XIV! It's amazing! What is the reason for that?

I have absolutely zero connection to France, so my interest in Louis XIV comes from my interest in European history from about 1500-1800. just to be clear, I'm interested in all history, but I've always had a special interest in this roughly 300 year chunk because it's this incredible period of change when we see modern democracies exploding onto the scene. I'm fascinated by how we go from the divine right of kings to the American and French revolutions in such a relatively short period of time. I'm also fascinated by how some people's lives were so opulent while other people were barely surviving, and I'm interested in the social structures that perpetuated that kind of inequality and managed to suppress revolution for so long, and I'm interested in why revolution took longer in one place versus another. I also find Louis XIV interesting because he had the baseless confidence to call himself the Sun King and I can't help but respect that level of unironic arrogance lol I can't help but he fascinated by someone who genuinely and unironically was like "yeah, I'm going to call myself the sun king and I'm going to have other people call me that too and we're all going to be very serious about it"

I've seen a lot of documentaries on Louis XIV, but this one is the best! I learned more about the Sun King than just his courtly habits and mistresses. Thank you! Well done!

Absolutely loving this. Great work old chap!

The one part of Louis XIV's reign that is not mentioned in this documentary is the Les Filles du Roi from 1663 to 1673. When he gathered 1,000 women all through France to send to Quebec to help build the population of the New France colony. Which is still celebrated in Canada today. Where one of those women does happens to be a distant cousin of his a woman by the name of Catherine de Baillon the daughter of Lord Alphonse de Baillon and Louise de Marle. The de Marle family and the de Baillon family are both aristocratic French families amongst the Lord's of French Aristocracy who are descendants of Counts, Dukes, Lord's, and even many Kings of France who even worked within the French King's Court. Alphonse's great-great grandfather was the secretary and notary under the reign of King Louis XII of France. But it's Alphonse's mother who links his family to the King of France.

Thanks buddy, keep up the hard work!

Louis XIV's father, Louis XIII, and most of all cardinals Mazarin and Richelieu, were instrumental in laying the foundations of French power that was used later by Louis. Already by 1648 and the treaty of Westphalia, the balance of power shifted toward France who took Spain's role of the dominant power of Europe. His conquests are also lasting to this day and have even more impact than the ones of Napoleon. Louis XIV conquered 10 New provinces who are still part of France to this day...

Amazing how high quality these documentaries are Very well done!

Another brilliant documentary!....very interesting and so well produced....the music choices are sublime!

I forgot one important point...Louis believed as the old saying says, keep your frineds close and your enemies closer (they won't be able to plot against you - as a king who always has enemies). He (Louis) impressed upon the aristocracy that it'd be in their best interest to stay at Versailles (once completed); he, as the king, set the fashion and the aristocrats had to follow his fashion...they became so much in debt, that he loaned them money and then became their master.

I’m fascinated by portraiture. Painters obviously want to flatter their important sitters so when you see the genetically mangled face of Charles II of Spain, you wonder how unpleasant he must have looked at in real life. Henry VIII is another good example.

The more you learn about king Louis the more fascinating his story becomes. So many things happened during his reign , he was beyond a ‘shaker and mover ‘and he was extremely tough in mind and body.Hard to really imagine being in his presence, how it must have felt to have those imperial eyes taking you in , assessing , judging,and curious all at once ,aye!?!

I enjoyed every moment of this documentary and it was very educational. May I recommend to also show some of the lineage during the narration so to visualize the historical impact of the rulers.

O remember learnin about him when i was young, nice to see a different ,more detailed perspective.

My ancestors were Huguenots who left in 1567 during the 2nd civil war. They were lower nobility in Normandy. They produced timber from their forests and wine from their vineyards. They took their skills first to England then Germany then the Netherlands. From there they came to America in 1653. France lost nearly all its milliners, leather workers and metal workers.Many soldiers and sailors went to work for England and the Netherlands. The Rivoire came to America and the name changed to Revere. The Faberge metal smiths went to Poland and Russia. John Jay became the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Boudinot the first president of the Continental Congress. The De Lannoy (Delano) gave us a president as did the Martieau (Washington) and other patriots. France lost some of its most productive and profitable citizens due to Louis XIV's bigotry.

Everyone always praises Louis but I think he set France on its path to revolution. The two kings to come after him followed his example and wound up in costly wars and building projects that bankrupted France. It was also Louis who came up with the frivolous court at Versailles. Not only was it expensive but very isolating so the king had very little idea of what was actually going on in Paris.

Which can be translated in :"Mister is very Madam, and Madam is very Mister". But nevertheless, they succeeded in having two children, a boy and a girl.... He became "Le Regent", the uncle of Louis XV.
