Introduction to Louis XIV

Louis XIV pointed out in his personal data that he was one of the kings of Bourbon in France. He reigned for 72 years, setting a record for the longest reign of the emperor in history. People call him one of the greatest kings in French history.

Louis became king at the age of fourteen. But because of his young age, it was his mother who was really in power at that time. In the following eighteen years, the ruling power was controlled by Cardinal Masalin. In the five years after 1648, French stone throwers launched several large-scale riots, which made Louis XIV flee from Paris. At the same time, these riots had a great influence on young Louis XIV, and the city of Paris brought him an indelible shadow. After Masalin's death, Louis XIV really came to power. After he took office, he did not appoint a prime minister, but took power alone. Through a clever mind, France, caught in internal and external troubles, quickly became strong. Finally, the monarchy was established, and the kingship reached the peak of French history. This point was emphasized in the introduction of Louis XIV.

Later, Louis XIV appointed Bo Xilai as bishop to publicize the national prestige and consolidate the people's hearts, so that the French church and the upper class at that time completely surrendered to the French royal family. Attaching importance to talents and handing over diplomatic and state affairs to geniuses in all fields greatly improved France's national strength and made Bourbon dynasty prosperous. 1666, he handed over the army to Lu Fuwa because of his excellent army management ability. Since then, Louis XIV's army has been invincible, and France has become peaceful because of its strong military protection. Although Louis XIV later made a mistake in decision-making, the French treasury was in deficit. But when Louis XIV was introduced, the French people still gave him a high evaluation.

The story of Louis XIV is not only reflected in politics, but also in thought and economy. Ideologically, Louis XIV promoted and believed in Catholicism. Economically, he pursues mercantilism. According to records, during his 72 years in power, he only bathed seven times, which can even be said to be a quirk. However, whether this matter is true or not cannot be verified by later generations. But such a king who doesn't like bathing, his love story is quite perfect.

The story of Louis XIV also includes the story of a rose, but this does not refer to King Louis XIV, but a rose named after him. Louis XIV rose is produced in France and cultivated in 1859. It is named after the sun king and symbolizes the authority and dignity of flowers. This is the story of Louis XIV. Everyone has two sides, so does Louis XIV as king.

Portrait of Queen Louis XIV

The queen of Louis XIV was short. Fortunately, Louis XIV was not tall. The queen of Louis XIV had no desire for power. She is quiet, likes talking and being surrounded by people. Louis XIV thought she was not clever because she didn't learn French well until her death. The queen of Louis XIV is lucky for her other relatives. At least she is healthy and has not been abused. But it was no accident that she became a dispensable figure in the palace not long after her marriage, because she was not good-looking and enthusiastic enough to attract her husband's attention. But Louis XIV's harem behavior was met by her, but in the end she compromised. Because she was not mean to Louis XIV's mistress, but she was tolerant. Louis XIV was moved by her behavior and repeatedly emphasized her status as queen in the palace. Although Queen Louis XIV leads a monotonous life every day, her position is still beyond the reach of other women.

She often prays with her mother-in-law or plays cards with the servants of the motherland. Later, the king also intended to improve her status, both because of her tolerance and because of God's blessing. She gave birth to six children for her husband in her life, but most of them died, and only one child lived to her death. After her death, her right to inherit eventually triggered a war between the heirs to the throne, but her grandson finally won and won the throne.

Louis XIV's evaluation

Louis XIV was called one of the greatest kings in history by the French people, and he was called the king of the sun. He has been in power for 72 years since 1643. He is a typical autocratic monarch who advocates theocracy. History speaks highly of Louis XIV.

During the reign of Louis XIV, he devoted himself to expanding the territory of France and successfully made France the most powerful country and cultural center in Europe at that time. In the 17th and 18th centuries, French was the common language in Europe. Besides devoting himself to external expansion, Louis XIV also supported the development of art and technology, thus building the Palace of Versailles. The perennial foreign war led to the emptiness of the French treasury and the vacillation of the Bourbon dynasty's dominant position in France. 1648, during the war between France and Spain, a stone-throwing uprising broke out in China, which weakened the national strength, declared the hegemonic cause bankrupt at the same time, and even greatly reduced France's international status and reduced it to a second-rate country.

Although there was chaos in the late reign of Louis XIV, the French people still appreciated Louis XIV very much and spoke highly of him. In the hearts of the French people, Louis XIV made France a powerful country in Europe at that time with his own strategy. The maid-in-waiting who served Louis XIV thought he was so fair and kind that no French king could compare with him. The French aristocrats' evaluation of Louis XIV is that his words and deeds are moderate and cautious. Later historians also praised Louis XIV as the most capable of all kings, and Voltaire also thought that the period of Louis XIV's rule was the most memorable period in France. This is an evaluation of Louis XIV.
