Luis XIV
Luis XIV, known as the Sun King (1638-1715), was King of France from 1643 until his death. His reign is noted for the expansion of absolute monarchy in France and the establishment of a centralized state. He famously stated, 'L'état, c'est moi' ('I am the state'), embodying the divine right of kings. His lavish court at Versailles became a symbol of royal extravagance and power, while also serving as a center for the arts and culture during the French Baroque period. His legacy includes significant military achievements, as well as economic challenges that contributed to the future unrest in France.
