“I know who I am. I am Louis XIV, and I am the King of France.“ During the second half of the 17th century, King Louis XIV was a very powerful man who built and extended upon his father's old hunting lodge called Versailles. Believing in divine rights and his kingship to be destined by God (like most monarchs during that period *cough* Charles I of England), this made Louis XIV very ambitious and therefore dangerous. Inviting all the nobles of France, he created a mini world, a kingdom within a kingdom. In Versailles, everyone had to abide by his rules and attend certain events in a certain way at a specific time. Feeling almost like a prison I imagine. Versailles is still one of the most beautifully built places on Earth and I will end up going there one day! This TV show was a really great series and I was gutted it ended the way it did. George Blagden is outstanding in this role, as is Alexander Vlahos who plays his brother Phillipe. I also thought George was brilliant as Athelstan in Vikings prior to this role.
