Who is that? He is very handsome.

​@@lisacarey8416Samuel Theis french actor

Louis XIX was not even remotly as good looking.

Ain't it though?!😂

And to add to your very true statements... if one wants to do Versailles and Les Hameaux, I recommend staying a night or two at the Waldorf there. Le Petit Trianon is amazing! Beyond comparison! And some of the rooms overlook the fields where Marie Antoinette's sheep graze and roam. So lovely!!

Yes even through the centuries that Palace of Versailles, the assets theg

Not at all accurate according to historians at the Museum at Versailles.

@@gregorybowden1515 Really? That's interesting. and disappointing.🙁 I suppose you found that info on the Museum at Versailles web site?

Yup. He is a terrible person

Louis XIV was the very antithesis of the modern day bureaucrat. He was in fact, very decisive, and he had to be as just about every decision about the governance of France past his desk. For all of his frivolity, he was an extremely hard worker, and I think you make a very big mistake by superimposing our ideas of leadership onto 17th century, France. It was a totally different ball game. The problem that France faced was with such an overcentralise state created by Louis required a very dynamic leader at its centre. sadly, Louis XV and Louis XVI were not that dynamic which in turn led a bureaucratic stasis and huge political frustration, that ultimately led to the French Revolution. It should further be remembered that the 18th century was the Age of the Enlightenment with the ideas of Jean Jacques Rousseau and Montesquieu etc that completely debunked the ideas of the Divine Right of Kings that was the Sun Kings stock in trade.

And the only person who can make a difference is being chastised by those who need to be "removed" from power! 😡

Are you serious???He was the king of France!!Not a monk.

It’s obvious people who cancel Kanye were there the same way they’re here

British history?

And allow me to note that the actress portraying Marie-Antoinette looks so much like Princess Grace of Monaco that it is just uncanny.

Love the bear💕

They weren't as England.

its always been a dump for human sewage.

I smell manure in some comments here.

​😂 "Peasants" , you mean 😅

I mean...there are three Louises here..which one lol

if you weren't the king's mistress, you may end up someone else's anyhow

There were former mistresses who remained at Versailles but any illegitimate child of royal blood was usually placed with nurses and tutors in Paris as Versailles was not seen as an appropriate place to raise children. When Montespan moved her children to Versailles it was a huge scandal and seen as a direct insult to the Queen - and not because Louis was soon sleeping with and secretly married to her children’s governess, Mde. Maintenon.

@@xavi312 Too many for me to remember by heart! The first (I think at least from what we have in primary sources) was Catherine Bellier - I think he was 15 when his mom hired her to “teach him” about that life - and apparently she was far older and not exactly attractive but when people found out he was with her, they started treating her like the woman to be with and be seen with. Mlle Vallière is the next one I can remember b/c she was his first official maîtresse en titre - she was the one who kept running to the convent - and then add the two I mentioned above.

@@xavi312 Not really. Plenty of women had illegitimate children for Louis XIV and once he tired of them, he usually would marry them off so he could get on with the next and if anything, being known even as a former mistress was an enviable position as they had nothing better to do all day than gossip and figure out who was the fanciest i.e. closest to the king or his immediate circle. Vallière begged to go to the convent on her own accord - not because she was afraid of scandal. It was probably more scandalous that she went and that’s why they kept bringing her back.

I would think not - any negative sexual propaganda in the years leading up to the Revolution mainly focused on the alleged promiscuity of Marie Antoinette and her inner circle rather than Louis XVI. Many saw him as a weak and oblivious cuckold. While the church was powerful, it was no where near as focused on or strangely obsessed with the sexual habits of its members as the Puritans in GB or the US were.

Many if not most priests were killed during the revolution as they were not what you think of as a Christly. Many were guilty of indulgences the same as nobility.

Yep and still are Very Superior!! no good👎

Samuel Theis,Stanley Weber both french actors

@@eleonora78 Thank you 😍

@@eleonora78 Stanley Weber was also in 'Outlander', as the Comte St Germaine

That's truly something. I only admire the Clothes of them, but I always forget their habits.

Stanley Weber

Well the King was no where near as good looking as this actor. Not at all in my opinion.

They are just actors.

Are you making reference to auto-generated subtitles?

Lack.....talent in France..

Wrong vid?

A video about Louis XIV is no place for some conspiracy theory about Eric von Zip, whoever that is.

@@samplerstitcher 🤣 I think when I was typing this, it was changing to a new video, crazy it posted here, thx

This aged like fine wine.

Madame de pompadour wasn’t one of his mistresses, she was his great-grandsons mistress 😅

They’re not changing history, lol. Using handsome actors which is common, doesn’t change what happened in the past.

@@KCohere33 Where is your IQ when you need to retrieve it for practical use. Do you really think i mean they go back in time and literally change the course of history, they do indeed change the perception of the viewer by glamourizing the king when in fact he used to look saggy and unattractive,, sort of retrograde propaganda

​@@MorningStar-369 Was Louis as handsome as he is portrayed at the paintings when he was a child? What caused him to look so ugly?

Astrology buff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That’s not a historian, she wouldn’t even make it as a mistress of the guards entering the city.

@@AryanHomeland She is a historian. Also erotic novelist alas.

Napoleon was Emperor, not a king.

​@@DiabolicalAngel The empire is a monarchy.

What about Henry IV?

What exactly is fictional in this?
