What did King Louis the XIV use the Palace of Versailles for?
After an unpleasant experience with mobs as a child, Louis XIV hated Paris with its crowds. Versailles was a place were he could be away from the dangerous mobs and enjoy the scenery.
Secondly, under Louis XIV France was flourishing. It is not for nothing that this Louis is referred to as the Sun King. Versailles was a place to stun Europe, unrivalled in size, decoration, cost and splendour. It was the Jewel of France and it made clear that France was a powerful state with few rivals.
Thirdly, Louis forced most of his nobles to have apartments in Versailles - Its size enabled him to do so. This meant that all the nobles were under his eye and away from their own lands, reducing significantly the risk of them revolting against him.
Lastly, it suited his own personal sense of majesty and drama. King Louis XIV was the Sun of Versailles - it revolved around him. The entire complex was a place where his every move could take place in a suitably grand setting.
Therefore, Louis XIV used Versailles as his headquarters. It was the centre of Government in France and a stage where the French and foreigners could witness the power, wealth and majesty of the Sun King.

Who was the British monarch in 1712?
Queen Anne.
It was also the date of the death of Richard Cromwell, heir to Oliver Cromwell, and briefly installed as Protector of the realm. He was not a success, and is still known as Tumbledown Dick.
When Henry VIII died in 1547, he was succeeded by his 9 year old son, Edward VI. Because of Edward's age, his uncle Edward Seymour (Duke of Somerset) made himself protector and took control. Together with Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, Seymour was determined to make the country Protestant. An Act of Uniformity was proclaimed and a new English Prayer Book produced in 1549. There were some protests and rebellion against this, and the Earl of Warwick -John Dudley, put down the rebellions and was also involved in a power struggle with Edward Seymour, ultimately leading to Seymour's arrest and eventual execution. Dudley became the Duke of Northumberland and took control after Seymour's downfall. Edward VI was never very strong health wise, and it became apparent that he was suffering from tuberculosis and would not live very long. Northumberland seized his chance to persuade the king to name Lady Jane Grey (Northumberland's daughter in law) as his successor, as she was descended from Henry VII the first Tudor king, through her grandmother Princess Mary Rose Tudor, younger sister of Henry VIII. But more importantly she was Protestant, whereas the true successor, Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's oldest daughter, was a staunch Catholic. Edward died on 6 July 1553 and Jane Grey became queen for only 9 days, when support for Mary became overwhelmingly strong, as people wanted to see the rightful heir upon the throne. Lady Jane, her husband, father and father-in-law were all imprisoned and eventually executed under the reign of the new monarch, Mary I (1516 - 1558). Mary went on to gain the nickname "Bloody Mary" because under her rule, around 300 Protestants were burned at the stake for refusing to recant their religious beliefs.
There were two queens known as Mary Tudor:
Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York was queen of France as wife of Louis XII of France
Mary I of England, daughter of Henry VIII of England and Katherine of Aragon was queen of England in her own right and queen of Spain as wife of Philip II of Spain
