Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes famous art depicting Louis XIV and important people, places, and events in his life. *Includes pictures of the Palace of Versailles. *Discusses the reign and legacy of Europe's longest reigning king. "Every time I create an appointment, I create a hundred malcontents and one ingrate." - Louis XIV A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' French series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of France's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. France's most famous King, and Europe's longest serving, Louis XIV (1638-1715) is often viewed today as a symbol of royal extravagance and splendor. Reigning for over 72 years, the legacy of the "Sun King" is remembered for the magnificent Palace of Versailles, the patronizing of arts and theater, and the apocryphal quote "L'Etat c'est moi" (I am the State). Although it is more than fair to associate the Sun King with vanity and unfathomable spending on luxury, the laser sharp focus on the superficial aspects of the man and his reign have come to overshadow just how effective he was as a ruler. Becoming King as a child and assuming actual power in his early 20s, Louis spent nearly 55 years centralizing and consolidating power in his monarchy by bringing the aristocracy to heel and keeping religious divisions from devolving into violence, thereby passing off to his successor an absolute monarchy with a very solid foundation. At the same time, his foreign policies, though often criticized as quests for glory, helped establish France as the dominant power on the European continent and firmly in control of an overseas colonial empire that stretched both east and west. And of course, while his spending and extravagance are viewed critically today, his construction of the Europe's most famous palace and his patronizing of the arts established the kind of culture and society that France is still famous for across the world today. French Legends: The Life and Legacy of King Louis XIV looks at the life and reign of one of history's most famous Kings, explaining his influence in a historical light and analyzing the monumental legacy he left behind. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Sun King like you never have before, in no time at all.

Book excerpt: A fascinating account of the life, trials, tribulations-and ultimately failure-of one of Europe's first notable "constitutional monarchs," Louis Philippe (1773-1850). The first king to be properly elected by the National Assembly, his reign was based on the principle of union of king and people, and marked the first real shift away from the "divine right to rule" approach to kingship. This sweeping work reveals many details not generally known about this momentous change in European politics, all the while keeping the reader's attention by weaving together the story of Louis Philippe's youth, his years of exile, the dramatic events leading to his appointment as king, his extended family and relations, and finally his steady decline in popularity until his own forced abdication and exile in 1848. Regarded as a usurper by the aristocracy, but rejected by the masses because of the fact that he was made king by an assembly elected by only one hundred and fifty thousand voters-he was stalked by assassins at every step, becoming known as the "Target King." Finally, caught between the conflicting demands of the aristocracy and the 1848 revolutions, he resigned and fled into exile once again. "We may search history in vain for the record of any monarch so unrelentingly harassed as was Louis Philippe from the time he ascended the throne until he was driven from it. He was irreproachable in morals, a man who had seen much of the world in all its phases, sagacious and well meaning. But he was placed in a position in which no earthly wisdom could rescue him from the direst trouble."

Book excerpt: History Hub presents a brief biography of King Louis XIV from beginning to end, whose remarkable story impacts our lives even today. King Louis XIV, known as the longest-reigning monarch in history, was born on September 5, 1638. He died only a few days away from his 77th birthday on September 1, 1715. Louis XIV was born to King Louis XIII and Queen Anne of Austria after 23 years of marriage. This was the reason why they named him Louis Dieudonné, which meant God-given. He then became the King of France before turning five years old. As a young king, his mother became the sole regent while he learned history, arts, and, most significantly, politics from Cardinal Jules Mazarin, his godfather. He got married in 1660 to Maria Therese of Austria, his cousin, as a political move to stop the ongoing war between France and Spain. Cardinal Mazarin died a year after and King Louis XIV established himself as the chief minister of France. In 1661, Queen Maria Therese gave birth to their first son, Louis or le Grand Dauphin, who did not inherit the throne due to his early death. King Louis XIV reigned for 72 years and 110 days﹘the longest recorded monarchical rule in the European empire's history. His personal reign began in 1661﹘a tumultuous period when France's fiscal standing was nearing bankruptcy. To solve this, he reformed the country's unstructured taxation system. However, his efforts in restoring France's economic stability were thwarted by the wars he raged against his enemies. These left his people in poverty that was aggravated by a famine that ravaged the country. On his deathbed, he was jeered upon for draining his empire's financial resources. Discover in this short yet concise biography the remarkable story of a life who impacted future generations. This book also contains 30 questions for an in-depth discussion into the life of King Louis XIV. Download your copy now on sale Read on your PC, Mac, iOS or Android smartphone, tablet devices.
