King Louis XIV of France | The Sun King (Versailles)

"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.

With how long Louis XIV reigned (72 years, 1643-1715) they could have made a dozen or more seasons showing his reigns progression.

Louis XIV made himself immortal with the Palace of Versailles I visited it once & it was Mindblowing I couldn't believe my own Eyes & what I was seeing The Beauty of this Monument is insane He was a Man with Vision Taste & an Eye for Detail something I've never seen anywhere else & I live in Vienna where we have also great Architecture Truly Incredible

[akshararaju]

I am gonna watch this. I'm so obsessed with Versailles and Louis IV era😭

[AlexandraWolf-qlbi]

Louis, Louis, you were Versailles, I imagine you still watching all those visiting your Palace. How we were in awe of your creation.

[jonibarger]

Its time to watch this again. Everyone did so well in their rolls and George was a beautiful King Louis.

[hiworld]

The show was brilliant. This really protrays how Louis rose from being a king controlled by the nobles, to Louis the great, Le roi soleil. He was truly blessed by the sun.
Your edit is brilliant.
Let the sun shine, ☀️⚜Vive le roi⚜☀️

George Blagden is criminally underrated. This edit is everything! Thank you.

I’m over the moon. I adored the TV series. Acting, costumes, everything about it. My very favourite drama of all time.

[JustTryingMakeitToJesus]

I love this series and wish Netflix has not canceled it. I've been waited for season 4 and just found out. It was so good I've watched it a few times.

Me and my brother used to watch this together. 😢I miss my brother. He’s missing.

[stacydavidson]

Four seasons were not enough. I miss this series.

[EdenRochin]

I finished this show after I came back from Paris. I cannot get enough of Versailles. Literally lives in my heart. Also he has such beautiful eyes. ❤ beautiful and heartbreaking show.

[gemstonevidder]

[yvonneevie]

I miss Versaille, it was a great TV show

[unor]

Best historical show ever and I've seen many

[rejmons]

The Mirror Gallery in Versailles is truly amazing! Sun-drenched and dignified. Only a few galleries, halls or chambers in whole world can match it in dignity or beauty.

[brendamills]

I have watched this series at least 5 times. I love it. My all time favorite.

[gipkucq]

I love the way they got the "I AM the state", or in French, "L'etat, c'est moi!" into the show!

[sandrahatherley]

Loved it all but especially loved the king's brother....he was beautiful

[zarina]
