Further explanation

King Louis XIV was the most famous king in the history of France. His nickname was the Sun King. It was because of his radiance in the world and the length of his reign. He was king for 72 years which is a record in France and something rare in the history of Europe. He was an absolute monarch. He did not listen to his ministers and decided everything on his own.

Like his ancestors, he thought it was God who allowed him to have all these powers. He was at the head of a vast colonial empire including Canada, the Caribbean islands like Guadeloupe and Martinique, and some lands in Africa like Senegal.

He was the builder of the famous Palace of Versailles that still exists today. Since he did not want to listen to anyone except himself, King Louis XIV be surrounded by enemies and had almost no allies all around Europe. But, he was one of the last great kings of France because the revolution started in 1789, less than 100 years after his death.
