King Louis XIV (the fourteenth).
false
His grandfather, Louis XV.
Louis XV differed from Louis XIV primarily in his approach to governance and his public persona. While Louis XIV epitomized absolute monarchy and centralized power, famously stating "L'état, c'est moi" ("I am the state"), Louis XV was more passive and relied heavily on his ministers, leading to a less decisive and more fragmented rule. Additionally, Louis XIV focused on military expansion and glory, whereas Louis XV's reign was marked by a series of military defeats and increasing public discontent. This contrast ultimately contributed to the declining influence of the monarchy by the end of Louis XV's reign.
His succesor was Louis XV, his great-grandson.
Because he died first. Louis XV was Louis XIV's great-grandson.
Louis XIV was the great-grandfather of Louis XV. Louis XIV had a son: Louis, dauphin of France. This son married and got a son as well: Louis, duke of Burgundy. This latter also had a son, and this was Louis XV. Because Louis dauphin of France and Louis duke of Burgundy both died at a very young age, Louis XV could become King. He did so, aged 5 in 1715.
His successors, Louis XV and XVI
Louis XIV commissioned the build and moved in his entire court in 1682, but is was never really finished. Louis XV and Louis XVI both expanded the Palace even further.It was built during the Reign of King Louis XIV.
Louis the 15th, who reigned from 1715 to 1774. He was the great-grandson, and the successor, of Louis the 14th.
Only counting the legitimate line: Louis XIV's grandsons were Louis Duke of Burgundy, Philip V of Spain and Charles Duke of Berry, who were the sons of his only son Louis the Dauphin (Crown prince). Sadly, Both the Dauphin and his eldest son the Duke of Burgundy died before Louis XIV, leaving the elderly king's only heir and eventual successor to be his toddler great-grandson Louis Duke of Anjou who ascended as Louis XV when Louis XIV died in 1715. And yes, contrary to popular belief Louis XV is not the son of Louis XIV but rather his great-grandson
