Can anyone top this man? I don't think so. He is without a doubt the greatest monarch ever to rule a land. He practically made his country into a powerhouse. He turn France into a predominant and preeminent position in Europe. I dedicate this thread to him. big grin

Meh. I think all the good things in Loius XIV reign is due to his effective minister Colbert. From what i remember from my History, Louis is a pompous prick that had all the European powers aligned against him . . . .

Janus Marius
Yeah, and his arrogance lead to the downfall of France and European unrest.

I agree though, he was a good monarch. Unlike XVI and XV. Idiots.

Yup, good old Sun King, Louis #14.

#16 sucked even more in terms of fashion sense and lacked brain function regarding politics.

What are you smoking ? Louis XIV was a true nobody who was lucky he was born as the son of Louis XIII.

His people were starving while he sat on his fat ass on his expensive throne.

Sun King my ass.

cking
sounds like a true king.

His vanity was without limit or restraint. He, Richelieu, and Mazarin expanded France a long way towards its present boundaries, but they bankrupted their people.

What are you talking about? Louis 14th was stuck up, stupid, and elitist. He personally decreed that all Jewish literature in his land be burned. 20,000 Torahs and other scriptures were burned becuase of Christian ignorance and their idea of supremecy.
