Louis the Great or the Sun King

∙ 9y agoLouis XIV (14th) of France was known as both Louis the Great and the Sun King. He ruled France from 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign, 72 years and 110 days, is the longest of any monarch in a major European country in history.
He was nicknamed the Sun King because he chose the sun as his emblem - everything revolves around the sun and so everything in the royal court and all of France revolved around Louis. He is best known for his work in creating a centralized state that was governed from the capital, working to eliminate any remaining French feudalism, and creating absolute monarchical rule. France was the leading European power during his long reign. He built the Palace of Versailles and officially moved the royal court there in 1682.
