In "The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli, Louis XIV of France is often referred to as a "peasant" in a metaphorical sense to highlight the contrast between his royal status and the simplicity or humility associated with peasantry. This term can emphasize the disconnect between the lavish life of a king and the struggles of ordinary people. Additionally, it may serve to critique the way absolute power can lead to a ruler being out of touch with the realities of their subjects, regardless of their noble title.
