For more than seventy years, during a period of French political dominance that included the War of the Spanish Succession and the Franco-Dutch War, this "Sun King" and House of Bourbon member ruled France. An absolute monarch and a believer in the divine right of royalty, he became known for his lavish lifestyle at his ornate Palace of Versailles.

His marriage to Maria Theresa of Spain produced only one surviving child-- Louis Le Grand Dauphin -- and he later secretly married Francoise d'Aubigne. Through a series of affairs, he fathered at least sixteen children.
