About the author

A magnificent court, the expansion of influence in Europe, and the establishment of overseas colonies characterized the longest reign of Louis XIV, known as the Great and the Sun King in history of France from 1643; he waged three major wars and in 1685 revoked the edict of Nantes and thus caused thousands of Huguenots to leave.
