About Louis XIV
Louis XIV, “the Great” or “the Sun King”, born on September 5, 1638 at the Château Neuf in Saint-Germain-en-Laye and died on September 1, 1715 in Versailles, King of France and Navarre. His reign extended from May 14, 1643 — under the regency of his mother Anne of Austria until September 7, 1651 — until his death in 1715. His reign of 72 years was one of the longest in the history of Europe and the longest in the history of France.
Born Louis, nicknamed Dieudonné, he ascended the throne of France on the death of his father, Louis XIII, a few months before his fifth birthday, which made him one of the youngest kings of France. He thus became the 64th King of France, the 44th King of Navarre and the third King of France from the Bourbon dynasty.
