In this episode we are joined with another history student Ella, who is currently studying at the University of Leeds. She joins our discussion on Louis XIV who became King of France on this day in 1643. Louis is the longest reigning monarch over a sovereign country and is known for his rule of absolutism. We cover his early life, reign, his love for war and his revolutionary build of the Palace of Versailles. It was great having Ella with us for this episode, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
