“There is little that can withstand a man who can conquer himself.”

― King Louis XIV of France

Louis XIV was one of the most iconic and recognized kings of France. In fact, his popularity lasted well into the 20^th-century.

Author Simon de Riencourt published an authoritative account of the life of Louis XIV – an account written in the 17^th-century! Other accounts of Louis XIV’s life are more easily available; in fact, most of them are 18^th-century printings. Riencourt’s “History of Louis XIV” is a rare work of the history of 17^th-century French royalty written during the same time period!
