This is the story of Louis XIV, who ruled for 72 years, longer than any other king in history. Under his patronage, French literature and art became the model for the Western world, and his palace at Versailles seemed to crown his triumph, dazzling all Europe with its splendor. Though he had plunged the nation into more than half a century of warfare, ironically, he left this piece of advice to his successors - to try to keep the peace, for he himself had been too fond of war.
