King Louis XIV - The Original Influencer

Let’s take you back to Bourbon-ruled France for the tale of Louis XIV. He was an opulent king who ruled with a watchful eye for 72 years. He spent lavishly, hosted extravagant parties, and turned his reign into a grand spectacle in the burbs at Versailles where he forced everyone to live. His life was as public as that of a modern-day streamer. While his rule strengthened the monarchy and kept the nobility under his control, the common people bore the burden of heavy taxation. Though he died decades before the French Revolution, his policies contributed to the economic and social tensions that ultimately led to the uprising. Was he hood fo France or bad?
