King Louis XIV
King Louis XIV was a notorious French ruler who earned the nickname “The Sun King” for his lavish lifestyle and opulent court. He is remembered for his absolutist approach to government and his war-mongering foreign policy. During his reign, Louis XIV laid claim to numerous territories and fought in multiple wars, leading to France becoming one of Europe’s most powerful nations. He also passed a number of laws that restricted the rights of religious minorities and imposed heavy taxes on the French population. His reign was marked by an economic downturn, a period of famine, and an overall decline in standards of living.
