Louis, XIV King of France

M, #23276, b. 5 September 1638, d. 1 September 1715

Biography

  • Louis, XIV King of France, was born on 5 September 1638 at Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye in Laye, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
  • He died on 1 September 1715 at age 76 at Château-de-Versailles, Yvelines, in Paris, Ile-de-France, France.
  • He was buried on 9 September 1715 in St-Denis, Seine-St-Denis, Île-de-France, France.
  • Louis, XIV King of France, was also known as Louis Dieudonné.
  • He was also known as Louis, XIV The Sun King.
  • Louis XIV (Louis Dieudonné; 5 September 1638 – 1 September 1715), also known as Louis the Great (Louis le Grand) or the Sun King (le Roi Soleil), was King of France from 14 May 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country in history. His was succeeded by his great-grandson Louis XV (at age 5). Louis XIV's France was emblematic of the age of absolutism in Europe.[3] The King surrounded himself with a variety of significant political, military, and cultural figures, such as Mazarin, Colbert, Louvois, the Grand Condé, Turenne, Vauban, Boulle, Molière, Racine, Boileau, La Fontaine, Lully, Charpentier, Marais, Le Brun, Rigaud, Bossuet, Le Vau, Mansart, Charles Perrault, Claude Perrault, and Le Nôtre.
    Louis began his personal rule of France in 1661, after the death of his chief minister, the Cardinal Mazarin.[4] An adherent of the concept of the divine right of kings, Louis continued his predecessors' work of creating a centralised state governed from the capital. He sought to eliminate the remnants of feudalism persisting in parts of France and, by compelling many members of the nobility to inhabit his lavish Palace of Versailles, succeeded in pacifying the aristocracy, many members of which had participated in the Fronde rebellion during his minority. By these means he became one of the most powerful French monarchs and consolidated a system of absolute monarchy in France that endured until the French Revolution. He also enforced uniformity of religion under the Gallican Catholic Church. His revocation of the Edict of Nantes abolished the rights of the Huguenot Protestant minority and subjected them to a wave of dragonnades, effectively forcing Huguenots to emigrate or convert, and virtually destroying the French Protestant community.
    During Louis' long reign, France emerged as the leading European power and regularly asserted its military strength. A conflict with Spain marked his entire childhood, while during his reign, the kingdom took part in three major continental conflicts, each against powerful foreign alliances: the Franco-Dutch War, the War of the League of Augsburg, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In addition, France also contested shorter wars, such as the War of Devolution and the War of the Reunions. Warfare defined Louis's foreign policy and his personality shaped his approach. Impelled by "a mix of commerce, revenge, and pique", he sensed that war was the ideal way to enhance his glory. In peacetime he concentrated on preparing for the next war. He taught his diplomats that their job was to create tactical and strategic advantages for the French military.
    Significant achievements during his reign which would go on to have a wide influence on the Early Modern Era well into the Industrial Revolution and up to today, include the construction of the Canal du Midi, the creation of the Palace and Gardens of Versailles, the sponsorship and patronage of such artists and composers as Jean-Baptiste de Lully, Molière, and Hyacinthe Rigaud, as well as the founding of the French Academy of Sciences, among others.
  • He was christened on 21 April 1643 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France.
  • He held the title of King of France from 14 May 1643 to 1 September 1715.
  • He was crowned on 7 June 1654 at Reims Catherderal in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France.
  • He is/was my 19th cousin 8x removed

Louis, XV King of France

M, #23286, b. 15 February 1710, d. 10 May 1774

Biography

  • Louis, XV King of France, was born on 15 February 1710 in Versailles, Île-de-France, France.
  • He and Marie Karolina Sophie Leszczyńska were married on 5 September 1725 in Fontainebleau, Seine-et-Marne, France.
  • He died on 10 May 1774 at age 64 in Versailles, Île-de-France, France.
  • He was buried on 12 May 1774 in St-Denis, Seine-St-Denis, Île-de-France, France.
  • Louis XV (15 February 1710 – 10 May 1774), known as Louis the Beloved (French: le Bien-Aimé),[1] was King of France from 1 September 1715 until his death in 1774. He succeeded his great-grandfather Louis XIV at the age of five. Until he reached maturity (then defined as his 13th birthday) on 15 February 1723, the kingdom was ruled by Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, as Regent of France. Cardinal Fleury was chief minister from 1726 until his death in 1743, at which time the king took sole control of the kingdom.
    His reign of almost 59 years (from 1715 to 1774) was the second longest in the history of France, exceeded only by his predecessor, Louis XIV, who had ruled for 72 years (from 1643 to 1715).[2] In 1748, Louis returned the Austrian Netherlands, won at the Battle of Fontenoy of 1745. He ceded New France in North America to Great Britain and Spain at the conclusion of the disastrous Seven Years' War in 1763. He incorporated the territories of the Duchy of Lorraine and the Corsican Republic into the Kingdom of France. Historians generally criticise his reign, citing how reports of his corruption embarrassed the monarchy, while his wars drained the treasury while producing little gain. His grandson and successor Louis XVI would inherit a kingdom in need of financial and political reform which would ultimately lead to the French Revolution of 1789.
  • Louis, XV King of France, was christened on 15 February 1710 in Versailles, Île-de-France, France.
  • He held the title of King of France from 1 September 1715 to 10 May 1774.
  • He was crowned on 25 October 1722 at Reims Catherderal in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France.
