The Sun King: Louis XIV - Part 2

[@ThisisBarris]

Sorry the colours look a bit off - I've been having issues with desaturated colours while exporting from Premiere and this was my "fix". I hope to have it fixed by the next video. If anybody has any advice, please let me know. Oh, and sorry I took almost a year to make this lmao Love you all and merde!

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

Worth the wait. These are amazing videos! Thoroughly appreciated :)

[@Raymando]

Merde!

[@vicentgalvan70]

Can we expect more videos about France's colonial wars? There's so little of these documented in English... So many interesting stuff like commander Marchand, the conquest of Madagascar, etc... Thank you for putting so many interesting docs foward and I hope to see more!

[@jacoblanders7408]

Finally part 2?! Merde!

[@starbury64]

The content that you provide is top quality, but can you do one on the French colonies, Napoleon, Talleyrand, Charles de Gaulle, Nicholas Sarkozy, and the French legal system. That would be so awesome, and Merde!

[@riddhimaansenapati5006]

Louis XIV really created his personal hell at Versailles. His form of absolutism was not really suited for the long term as it required a strong King but as his successors proved, that will not always be the case. The nobility still had their privileges and reasserted themselves as soon as Louis XIV's body was cold during the Orleanist Regency. I really hope you cover the Orleanist Regency as well as Louis XV's reign(especially the issue of Parlements) as both are important for understanding the causes that led to Louis XVI and thus the French Revolution.

[@nestorvargas2399]

Finally another video, it's a good thing all those months of no content were put to use to study Louis in depth. I also hope you put out more cooking videos, crepes turned out to be pretty easy to make

[@ThisisBarris]

Who is your favorite French king?

Oh, difficult question! I would say Francis I for his advocacy of the renaissance in France and his patronage of the arts. Henry IV was quite an interesting character as well. I would also say Louis XIV, but the end of his reign really tarnishes his reputation.

[@xavierlecaros1623]

I've seen multiple sources claim the French army stood at 400,000 men. But that implies that the French could deploy about half a million men into the field. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's thought the field army stood at between 250-300k while about 100-150k were employed to garrison the Ne Plus Ultra forts.

[@ThisisBarris]

I reckon you're probably right. France had plenty of forts and needed to garrison those it captured. It's very unlikely that France ever fielded 400k troops. Merde!

The return of the king

[@albertoreyabuelo2504]

Were contemplating an about to be legend

[@HistoryHouseProductions]

I thought that son kings were called princes

[@ThisisBarris]

France likes to do things differently ;) It comes from the purchase of le Dauphiné, which is the region just north of where I'm from, by the future King of France in the 14th century. One of the requirements of the purchase was that the future heirs of France would be called "Dauphins". Happy to see you here man and merde!

[@Dayvit78]

Also Princes are rulers Principalities (just as Dukes-Duchies/Counts-Counties). It just happens that in England, it's customary for the King's heir to be given the title of Prince of Wales. Then Disney came along and made the Prince/Princess thing popular.

11:17 Louis also built up his navy The British: Are you sure about that?

[@xavierlecaros1623]

To be fair; over time money and resources were increasingly channeled from the Navy and into the army. The French navy did have some successes during the Nine Years War like at Beachy Head (1690). But over time because they didn't invest nearly as much the Anglo-Dutch navies gained the upper hand.
