the palace of versailles in france is home to some of the most spectacular architecture 00:00:03
gardens and art in the world it is a lasting symbol of louis xiv the king who lived there 00:00:09
and ruled his country for over 72 years louis xiv ascended to the throne in 1643 at the age of five 00:00:15
because louis was too young to rule his mother anne of austria was named regent to rule in his 00:00:27
name. She requested that his father's chief minister, Cardinal Jules Mazarin, remain in 00:00:33
charge of the country. It was a time of unrest in France as the monarchy sought to centralize 00:00:38
its power at the expense of the noble class, leading to a series of civil wars between 1648 00:00:45
and 1653 called the Fronde. After Mazarin died in 1661, Louis chose to rule alone and further 00:00:52
consolidate his power. Louis believed in the divine right of kings, that the king's right to 00:01:00
rule came directly from God and could not be bound by the will of the people, the aristocracy, 00:01:06
and in some cases the church itself. He was influenced by the writings of his childhood 00:01:12
tutor, Bishop Jacques Bossuet. Bossuet wrote of kings, he is a public personage, all the state 00:01:18
is in him, the will of all the people is included in him. As all perfection and all strength are 00:01:25
united in God, so all the power of individuals is united in the person of the prince. 00:01:32
Louis conveyed this concept with this simple phrase, 00:01:39
l'état c'est moi, translated as, the state is me. To cement his absolute power, 00:01:43
Louis transformed Versailles, a hunting lodge outside of Paris, into an immense palace of 00:01:49
great opulence that would become a center for art and culture. In 1682, he ordered the court 00:01:55
and the government to move to Versailles permanently and made it a home for thousands 00:02:02
of nobles and officials. At Versailles, Louis used a series of tightly controlled rituals 00:02:07
and ceremonies to keep the nobles vying for his favor instead of battling him for power. 00:02:12
He also had them spend a significant amount of time every year at Versailles to prevent them 00:02:19
from developing their own regional power. 00:02:24
Louis referred to himself as the Sun King 00:02:27
because he believed his subjects revolved around him 00:02:30
the same way the planets revolved around the sun. 00:02:33
Louis XIV placed tariffs on imported goods, 00:02:37
fostered overseas colonies, and regulated trade. 00:02:41
Under his leadership, 00:02:43
France became the richest nation in Europe. 00:02:45
Foreign dignitaries who visited Versailles 00:02:48
were often intimidated, 00:02:50
yet inspired by the tremendous display 00:02:51
of wealth and power. 00:02:54
During Louis' reign, France waged war 00:02:57
against several European nations, 00:02:59
running up tremendous debts. 00:03:01
Combined with the costs of maintaining Versailles, 00:03:05
the economy was left on the brink of financial ruin. 00:03:08
When Louis XIV died in 1715, 00:03:12
his form of absolute rule had brought stability 00:03:15
to the nation, turning France into a world power 00:03:17
and unleashing an era of art and culture 00:03:21
that is still celebrated. 00:03:23
