What kind of king was King Louis XIV of France and how did it end?

Louis XIV was born on September 1, 1715 and died on 1715-09-01 at the age of 76, naturally at the Palace of Versailles, which he built. He reigned from 1643 to 1715 for 72 years, 3 months and 18 days, and was the King of France and King of Navarre of the Bourbon dynasty, one of the longest-reigning monarchs and the longest reigning independent sovereign monarch in the history of the world.

During his reign, France waged three major wars: the Franco-Dutch War, the Grand Alliance, the War of the Spanish Succession, and two skirmishes, which made him the supreme European hegemon in 1680. The last two wars were fought against the Dutch-British-Austrian triumvirate, the Grand Alliance War was reconciled due to war weariness between the two sides, and the War of the Spanish Succession was finally succeeded by the French prince and grandson, but the burden of war caused the great image he had created (the Great) to lose his high popularity in his later years.

Louis XIV, with his eloquence and strategy, made the Kingdom of France the most powerful country in Europe at that time, made French the lingua franca of the entire European diplomacy and high society for two centuries, and made himself the greatest monarch in the history of France and one of the longest-ruling monarchs in the history of the world.

First of all, Louis XIV was called the Sun King, although much of it was he who boasted about it. =·=But that doesn't stop her from being a powerful king. He made France the most powerful country in Europe at the time, and then extended the absolute monarchy until the French Revolution.

One can imagine how powerful this emperor (the honorific title given by the city of Paris) was.

As for the rest, it is impossible to evaluate him objectively. After all, some kings like it and some don't.

In the end, he survived his eldest son, eldest grandson, and finally died of illness (old age) at the hands of his eldest great-grandson, which was also the longest-lived emperor in Europe. He reigned for 72 years.

It is said that Louis XIV reigned for a total of 72 years, but he only bathed seven times. The main reason is that people think that bathing will cause the flu, and the flu will cause pneumonia, which was incurable at the time, so in order to keep warm, they simply did not take a bath. Then came the famous Black Death, which was thought to enter the body when the pores opened when people were bathing.

Finally, Louis XIV died of a fungal infection of his feet at the age of 76.

On September 1, 1715, four days before his 77th birthday, after 72 years on the throne, Louis died of gangrene at Versailles.

Enduring the pain in his last days, he finally "gave up his soul effortlessly, like a candle" while reciting the Psalms. His body rests at the Cathedral of Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris. It remained undisturbed for about 80 years, until the revolutionaries excavated and destroyed all the remains found in the cathedral.
