“Every time I create an appointment, I create a hundred malcontents and one ingrate.” – Louis XIV
A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors’ French series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of France’s most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
France’s most famous King, and Europe’s longest serving, Louis XIV (1638-1715) is often viewed today as a symbol of royal extravagance and splendor. Reigning for over 72 years, the legacy of the “Sun King” is remembered for the magnificent Palace of Versailles, the patronizing of arts and theater, and the apocryphal quote “L’Etat c’est moi” (I am the State).
