Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, was one of the most famous kings of France. He was born on September 5, 1638, and became king when he was just 4 years old. His reign lasted 72 years, from 1643 to 1715, making it one of the longest in European history. Louis XIV is best known for his powerful and absolute rule. He believed in the divine right of kings, meaning he thought his power came directly from God. This belief helped him to centralize power and control all aspects of French government and society. He famously said, “L'état, c'est moi,“ which means “I am the state.“ One of Louis XIV's most significant achievements was the construction of the Palace of Versailles.
