History: Louis XV, the Louis between 14 and 16
👑 If this Bourbon king hadn't received the number 15, he may have been forgotten in the meanders of time. Luckily for him, he reigned just between the Sun King (14) and the beheaded one (16). Nevertheless, Louis the 15th wasn't as uninteresting as it seems. He was no public relations master, sure, but quite an effective king who deserves more credit for his promotion of the arts and sciences in the Age of Enlightenment. Director Maïwenn depicts him (played by Johnny Depp) in her latest feature film JEANNE DU BARRY which will be premiering at Cannes this year.
